so what would actually happen if someone got elected by running

Modern 'democracies' have fail-safes for this kind of thing. In Britain, the Prime Minister is just the nominal 'head' of a political party, who holds no actual power to himself/herself; the Monarch is the supreme head of state, but cannot propose legislation himself/herself.

In America, you have Congress to limit the power of the President.
