It’s more akin to Germany. The country was trying to assert independence. The oath of allegiance was abolished in 1933, the constitution was another step. People seem to forget we were still a commonwealth country until 1948.

No, it not to 'mimic the model of British kings'. The constitution in 1937 established the presidency to replace the office of the British governor general. The role is protect the constitution. Imagine a hotel without a receptionist, doesn't quite work.

Have you actually ever been to Ireland or spoken to an Irish person in real life? The Hibernophiba is telling.

Ireland.

You and me both. They are going to be roundly rejected.
