I would rather have the Republic our Founding Father envisioned and that my ancestors fought and died to establish.

The author seems to agree with you:

My case holds only for countries where maintaining or restoring (or conceivably installing) monarchy is a live option.2 We Americans have sounder hope of reviving respect for the philosophy of our Founders. Our traditions could serve some of the functions of monarchy in other countries.

However, it would be smart to ask ourselves, how come "reviving respect for the philosophy of our Fathers" is not happening, but rapid movement away from it definitely is happening. I think America should lose its allergy to a monarchy; it is very likely the best option in case of a constitutional crisis.
