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?

GG @𝕽𝖊𝖙𝖗𝖔, you just advanced to level 1!

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:

The us politics is a big bowl of soup now. A lot of country's are

if you look at the senate it is merely an elective house of lords. to begin with you were indirectly elected, remember the constitution amendment providing for direct election to the senate is only on the eve of the first world war, but if you look at the senators each rejoices in a quasi-noble status of two per two

per state
