It should be noted that in most countries there are actually two offices the “Head of State” and the “Head of Government”.

Only a few countries like the US have them combined into own office.

The head of state is either the ruling monarch or some office like President.

The head of government is often called names like Prime Minister, Premier or Chancellor.

The exact distribution of powers and responsibilities between the two varies a lot from place to place.

Usually and generally (but not always) the Head of State is the one who has all the power in theory, but in practice acts more like a figurehead and elder statesman while the Head of government does all the actual work of doing the politics of governing.

The actual schedule of such officials is usually available online.
