Read this page and you might be a little confused. Apparently the author wishes to bring monarchy to the United States enough to write a web page (in some form of what appears to be Middle English) all about it. Go read and then bring me your thoughts (in the form of comments).
I hope one of their first goals isn’t reverting to Middle English.

Good idea. I support the monarchical system, where there is at least one job in the country that cannot be bought by millionaires and cannot be sold by politicians: The Monarch.

Hmm interesting point - but if the Monarch is an elected position, can’t it still be bought and sold, with the results lasting a lot longer than they currently do?
And if you’re suggesting a hereditary monarchy, well… I’m pretty sure we have already tried that once or twice back in the history books.

Give me a modern example for your resentment. I bet you cannot name a modern European Monarch. I like the idea of someone who is above party lines and obviously people think like me. The approval rate of (European) Monarchs is high above the 70 percent mark. You know President Bush’s approval rate, French president Nicolas Sarkozy fell from 69 percent to below 30 percent in less than ten months. In 2007 King Juan Carlos was chosen "The Spaniard of History" (http://www.typicallyspanish.com/news/publish/article_10595.shtml) and in 2007 Queen Elizabeth has been voted the "Greatest living Briton" (http://monarchist-league.com.au/index.php?topic=205.0).
She has had 11 prime ministers (eleven in the UK and eleven in Australia) and has met eleven US presidents. She has an incredible knowledge about world politics. Would you say that about your president?
