Every system of government is controlled by those who successfully take power. Yes, ours included. The only difference with our system, is that the ideal is the people taking and holding the power, rather than a class of politicians.
Practically, of course, our system is also just controlled by those who successfully took power from We the People.
And, as an aside, the entire foundation of America rests on this premise. That our founders created a system free of a king doesn't change this. They ultimately arrested power from the current ruler and chose who to put in charge in his place (We the People).

Technically, we could go back to 1066 since William of Normandy wasn't even born on the right side of the blanket...
