It would depend on the state's laws. Some of them may have a natural-born requirement; I don't know. The US is different from many other nations in that the regional governments (the states) vary quite a bit from one another, and from the national government. The US constitution places a number of limits on what power the national government has over the states. Technically speaking, I think a US state could have a king and be ruled internally as an absolute monarchy, as long as their representatives to the national government were elected. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
