After all, there are "several vice chairmen" in our example.
Oh, these vice chairmen remind me of Mike Pence, Vice President of the United States. His position is kind of like that of a vice chairman of a calligraphers association. All Pence has to do, you see, is to stand behind Donald Trump, who is the President, and do such things as clap hands and smile broadly while the President speaks.
Or try his best to suppress a chuckle when President Trump makes a gaffe.
Whatever. Being vice president, Pence's main job is, and this is no secret, not to upstage Trump.
Trump wants to look good. Pence's job is to make sure of that.
In this regard, Pence is really doing something and, in all fairness, doing a heck of a good job.
Now read some media examples of figure heads in other situations:
1. The terms kingdom and empire are generally used in the same sense though there is some difference between the two. One of the main points to remember is this. An empire is ruled by an emperor whereas a kingdom is ruled by a king. In other words, it can be said that a country with a king (or queen) as the head of the state is called a kingdom. The term empire is derived from the Latin ‘imperium’. Imperium means power or authority. States and people of various ethnic groups constitute an empire. Some of the best examples of empires of the world are the British Empire, the Spanish Empire, and the Holy Roman Empire.
