Prestige is a shorthand for legitimacy.
Ohhh, I dunno. Head of the administrative branch of the government can be a drab bureaucrat, he doesn’t have to read about himself in GQ. OK, hard for a drab bureaucrat to be elected, but isn’t that another matter? Conceivably a low prestige nerdy guy could be elected and hold strong legitimacy, I think.
