Because when we broke away from england king James was so horribal to the colonies that we swore we would never have a king again so instead we have a president. It's pretty much the same as a king but except he is elected into office.

Currently they have a queen (not a king) but the queen does not have much power. Actually they have a prime minister which has a similar role to a president.

Could a president be called emperor if they were president of an empire?

If the person is the president of a corporation which is called an industrial empire, he would probably not like to be called an emperor. If the person is a dictator who made himself emperor as well as president, I suppose you could call him an emperor. Emperor is usually a title applied to king-like figures. President usually indicates an elected leader. The two titles are contradictory.

Does France have a king or a queen?

France is not a monarchy and therefore does not have a King and Queen. France is a republic and has a president, Nicolas Sarcozy. France used to be a monarchy, but during the French Revolution the French killed their last King and Queen (Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette) because at that time France was bankrupt and the people were starving. They blamed it all on their King and Queen, which was not fair. Though, the revolutionists wanted France to become a republic so the bourgeoisie could reign alongside their president. In the monarchy France used to be, this was not the case, and the King had the only right to reign the way he saw fit.
