      It was once impossible to imagine countries without Kings. A time will come when they look back and say the same of Presidents.

          You're expressing a super simplified, romantic take on history. There's never been a succesful government without a non-trivial executive

          I lived in Switzerland, where they have a president in name only. They're doing alright, actually. Unitary executives are the problem.

          With respect, this may just be too complex a topic to handle on Twitter absent a presumption of good faith.

          Do we actually know in what regard he helped? Shouldn't need protection for telling the truth like that

          I hope one day the kings and emperors will return and monarchies will be equal with republics. The World would be so boring without them.
