Royalty?
Dude, we had that up until 1910... then it was cast aside, not without some commotion... but it's good, now.
And, for president, the person with the most votes votes, gets the seat.
Not that it's worth much... the Prime Minister is the guy that is the head of the government, in spite of being #3 in the country's hierarchy.
I didn't mean an actual monarchy. I just meant you have that old lady you trot around and many brits seem to be crazy about. And the princesses and dukes, and all that weird stuff. A big old birthday parade every year too. Is the queen on your money? It all seems a bit silly.
The point I was making though, is that she seems to be a symbol that the folks of England like to rally around. Rather than a person/position, the US likes flags and songs.
