subject: King vs. President

Hello Ward,

 WD>>> I'm looking forward to the times when our royal household will be
 WD>>> declared useless.

 BF>> The president alternative doesn't seem all that appealing nowadays. BF>We
 WD> have a rather scary example across the pond...

 WD> That is an undisputable fact.

Well, it is true his hair is quite a mess. Not that it is real hair.

 WD> The person in that office overthere is granted too much power and can rule
 WD> by decree in a political system which is not geared to change that.

The presidency (in the US) is a very weak office.  Had you bothered
to read the US Constitution, you would have known that.

 WD> There is a word for that.

Are you calling Donald J. Trump a weakling?

 WD> When one thinks about it then the parallels between that country and North
 WD> Korea are striking, they also have a supreme leader who rules without
being
 WD> challenged.

The US Constitution only specifies the creation of the Supreme
Court, leaving the creation (and dissolution) of other federal courts
to Congress' discretion.

We all know what happened the last time the Congress challenged
Donald J. Trump.  The Senate held a trial, without calling witnesses,
and declared Trump a saint (or something to that effect).

 WD> But a monarchy? Our royals are related to a person who ranks very high on
 WD> the hitparade of greatest massmurderers ever and they now still bask in
the
 WD> wealth reaped from the backs of 12 million or more murdered black people
 WD> ...

Up until Abraham Lincoln, almost all our presidents owned black
people as property. These are the people who made America great.
