Hey, it could work.

Isn't it already? Although the position of President is not heriditery, the American President offers much the same attributes as the Queen does here, head of state, to be rolled out at special occasions, state functions, where behind the scenes, someone else is really running the country.

The US should admit that the War of Independence was a mistake and come back to being a colony of the British Empire where it belongs. Then we might be able to teach you all to spell properly.

First, we are not a democracy, we're a representative republic, like Rome. If we were a democracy everyone would vote on everything.
Now, a monarchy? Why not, can't be any worse than the useless govermental structure we have now....

Great, so our government could go from almost to completely worthless.

 Sorry sweety, I think you have you and I confused. Remember I am the one with a job, a wife, and a life, whereas you are the one who empties trash cans for 10 hours a week and lives off his mother. Or perhaps the word worthless is a little over your head.

America isn't a country that should have kings or queens. It was made so ppl could have equal rights and a monarchy is the opposite. America is like an experiment to see if human's from different back grounds can live in peace and its a place where many ppl can get away and is a beacon of hope. I think we should keep it that way as long as ppl are willing to be legal which some arent and we need a solution for that i think

We are a Republic, not a true Democracy.

I think it would be better if we actually went back to following the Constituition. We did pretty well when we did.

 I think the whole world should unite and there should be no countries. I guess that would coummunism in the truest sense. The whole world living as one big peaceful community. Yes Bugman, I am a crazy tree huggin hippie. I do however, shave my underarms. :)

Hi Ya Damien. Dont get me wrong ive got nothing against our royal family here in the UK. But our country is still governed by greedy corrupt politicians led by blood on his hands Gordon Brown who is guilty of destroying countless families,businesses, & the whole structure of this country. If the monarchy had more power to give the public a greater say then it might work . But allas they dont & im guessing the hidden power of the U.S. Would very much limit the say of an American Monarch.

 Yeah, well we've got political problems over here too so I doubt going from a Democracy to a Monarchy would be that much different in terms of corruption ;-)

Although on a side note, at least things would get done with a King in power who could push policy. And if that King was wrong? The people would revolt and oust him. See, in the U.S., when a president's approval rating is under 25%, we just have to sit here with our hands tied and watch as our nation crumbles.
