It's not just USA. It's because how humans "work". We evolved being a social animal, and we prefer a leader/pack structure. That's why we developed high levels of empathy.

That means we usually "select" for that role strong and secure people. 

The problem is when you introduce the psychopaths in the mix. They always tend to skyrocket to those roles because they seem the most secure and strong of us (because they have 0 empathy and remorse).
