There’s something to be said for a national leader/institutional icon that stands outside of politics, and which people can still respect and value no matter what happens in politics.

That would be useful to have a head of state outside of politics. One who's not a Democrat or a Republican. But we got rid of the King. And we don't want a King. So how would it work in the American system?

It wouldn’t work under our current system - In many minds, even our Supreme Court has become politicized.

I’m just saying that it’s been very useful to the Brits and their system.
