I think Ronald Reagan was the closest we ever had to a "king", He was caught making up stories and forgetting who was who, and none of it mattered, We should have made him "king" for life so he could have handled all the ceremonial stuff, and that would have allowed the elected President to actually work most of the time.
Am I the only one who notices that our elected rulers spend most of their time meeting and greeting, traveling, vacationing and campaigning? Is it too much to ask that they spend a *LOT* more time taking care of their actual jobs?
