In my opinion, if by a magic wand today -- or any other day -- the present office holders in this country are told that their office is forever, -- they don't have to run for office any more, they don't have to find a cushy private sector job to retire, they don't have to ask anyone for money -- all of a sudden the worst public servants will become models of civic virtue because they will work for something his children will inherit. The common good will prosper, the debt will be a thing of the past, each government official will work to do more with less, just like a business owner in the private sector.
So, yeah, kings are forever but so are presidents. I'd rather have kings.
That’s your opinion, but the real history of emperors and kings shows otherwise. Once someone is bent on utilizing public office to enlarge their coffers, power, and self esteem that’s the path they stay on for life. History is replete with bad kings who didn’t give a rip about the people, and has very few examples of your opinion actually existing outside of your head.
