Sounds like a monarchy.

We killed over 20,000 Brits to be free of it.

The war of independence was not about rejecting monarchy per se. The majority chose a republic instead for the sake of religious freedom (what with kings in Europe being responsible to a politically-active clergy), and the amount of power the federal government was to hold (especially its executive branch) was strictly limited so as to allow the states to retain their sovereign powers.

Not that there were never elected kings (versus dynasties) even with limited terms; those existed in antiquity also.

Not to mention, the government after the Second Coming is going to be a monarchy.
