Davis, Strega, Reg, and Kristina,
I grant you that abolishing Monarchy is probably not priority one or even 10. But it is a piece of unfinished business from The Enlightenment and will need to be done sometime.
There is actually a school of thought that thinks the whole Enlightenment experiment was a big mistake and that we need to go back to Ye Ol’ Throne and Altar. It is known of Dark Enlightenment or Neoreactionism.

As long as there is anyone that seriously thinks like this, I’d rather leave them no structure to work with and leverage.
And, yes, I have my criticism of how the U.S. Presidential system has turned out, namely, that Congress and the Supremes over the decades have conceded far too much power to The President and that Office has become more like a Monarchy.
In the latest example, the present occupant, Sleepy, Creepy, Crazy, Cranky, Tankie, Corn-Pop, Lunch-Bucket, Shotgun Joe, has used the stroke of a pen and made the U.S. once again beholden for oil to Saudi Arabia, Iran, and every other oil-producing Islamic tyranny on the Planet…
And this was right when we were on the cusp on not needing anyone else for oil anymore, and right when the Ummah was in retreat on Mohammed’s dream of a world under Allah. (Really, we could have been energy independent in the Eighties, but that’s another thread.)
Anyway, it may be “good to be King,” but it sucks to be the rest of us.
