no the powers are identical
*no they are not*
@WP no they get elected and can't do whatever plus people disrespect them with out punishment
if you're saying that the american president doesn't have the powers of a monarch then you're saying that the position it is copied from, which is the king of england, isn't a monarch
the role of president is more closely modeled over the roman republic position of dictator, it's just a permanent role
it's constitutional monarchy
the president holds little means to be able to instigate major things, they require congressional approval
US presidents have a 4 years term
that is how the english system works
There can only be 2 terms
i thought i was the most annoying troll here
Yeah really
the english king required approval from the lower hosue too
you don't seem to understand the history of the u.s and its political system
The position of POTUS has really been nerfed
I don't think you do, you just said the president is a monarch despite literally not at all being one
and the funny thing is that, as iirc abraham lincoln's advisor said, while the u.s is an elective monarchy the u.k became a hereditary republic
Cough
it's just nonsensical
GG @Svea Rike, you just advanced to level 1!
Constitutionally, the president has unlimited power through executive orders. The only limit to their power is the perception of the courts pretty much.
the u.k has this fucked up fake system of two monarchs and doesn't function properly
@Cobra Commander it's literally what david starkey, the leading historian on the subject, lectures about
laugh til it hurts
Those titties
U think the u.k. Is fucked up?
the entire system of u.s is a carbon copy of england
What about Canada my guy
of course u.s.a was created by englishmen who wanted their own england and rights as englishmen
magna carta, provisions of oxford, petition of right, all flow directly into u.s constitution
the u.s constitution is just the english bill of rights
It's quite unlike england.
so they recreated their own english system in the u.s but further democraticsed it
I @WP I mean a lot of stuff was based on it and yeah the people were English but now it's much different and mixed
becuase the u.k has changed, no the u.s
the u.k is very different now, but the u.s is the true continuation of england
the u.s has simply been further democraticsed and rationalised and systematised
but the u.k is just an incoherent mess of politics with no functioning true executive
to paraquote starkey:
