Something about this kind of appeals to me, though I'm not quite sure if I can put my finger on it!
Are the four clones (not sure if that's an appropriate term for them) representing people like us, under the control of a governing body and ultimately helpless when it comes to making decisions that directly influence our lives? Since the primary man is named "The President", that's completely the feeling I got out of that. I also got, like, a coming-of-age feel from the statement that he feels like he exists solely to age and reproduce, like that's his only destiny.
It's a creative idea, so let me know if I'm on track here.
Clones is right. Though, in the book, they are called Vice-Presidents.
They're not representing people like us but the interpretation describes their lives.
They're under the control of their President, literally, and until they are Dropping Age they have no physical free will. A lot of their emotions are also tied into the President's.
You're right on track. This is a coming-of-age dystopian novel.
Thanks for your comment.

As Alice said, "Curiouser and curiouser..."
Interesting concepts, though they are so brief as to be esosteric and cryptic. If you produce further, I'd be interested. :o)
