this is 2009.

And ... what?

Popular election of heads of government has given the world such worthies as (in no particular order, and not implied to be equal) Franklin Roosevelt, Josef Stalin, Jimmy Carter, Robert Mugabe, Bill Clinton, Barak Hussein 0bama, Tony Blair, Jacques Chirac ...

"Enlightened", "Rational" revolutions have presented us with "La Terreur", the Third Reich, The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Los Estados Unidos Mexicanos under the Institutional Revolutionary Party, the Peoples' Republic of China ...

Sometimes, Monarchy looks pretty darn good by comparison.

Oh yeah, Stalin and Mugabe were certainly elected in free and fair elections. /s

Are you trying to discredit yourself?

So you think that a monarchy can be superior to the Constitution of the United States.

Yes, and we mustn’t forget Iran’s popularly elected President who expects an imminent return of the Thirteenth Imam and plans to celebrate by nuking Israel.

I’m increasingly fond of Switzerland’s highly decentralized system in which the President serves a one-year term.
