Just choose your King or Queen. Maybe one of the native Americans who ruled the country in the past and it should be constitutional so the Monarch will be just a symbol not a dictator.

But I don't think Britain would allow this.

To a degree they already have, you know it's true when it's front page headline news what animal the first family pick and everyone rushing off to copy.. *shrugs*

Can't honestly see much difference really... certainly most presidencies last longer that a lot of European monarchs,

Just declare yourself King or Emperor. Joshua Norton did it. Had quite a funeral too from what I see:

They say it was set up to have a monarch with a constutional government underneath.

This is what the monarch project was all about.

Re: Why can't America become a monarchy?
Americans would be happier being a monarchy, any country would. Constitutional monarchies have the best of both worlds, a head of state, who is entirely politically neutral and can represent the country abroad in a good light without the inevitable cringe making embarrassment and grandstanding self importance of a president while still maintaining a vibrant democracy. If your prime minister gets caught with his pants down, you don't need to have an election.

America is against the idea of a constitutional monarchy because their creation myth, Revere's ride, minutemen, liberty bell and all that includes the idea of "tyrant king George" where in actual fact of course it was Frederick North's Tory party, an elected government, making all the wrong decisions about the colonies.
