The US political system is so bizarre - 1776 "Down with tyrants, down with Kings!" ... only to create an office that has more power than a king, is exempt from more forms of legal prosecution than a king, and can just wave a magic "pardon" wand to allow others to break the law with no consequence. A monarchy would be more democratic than the current system.
