Implies a big upgrade in VP/Caesar power, which I don't think the current run of Presidents would allow. Def should happen tho.

Looking at the Napoleonic experiment in France, if you create a new meritocratic class, have a political culture modelled on imagined classical norms, have a charismatic leader and cover everything with gold - good things happen.

They won't. Same reason so many tin pot dictators call themselves President. Words have power and even that thin veneer of "legitimacy" can be important, especially in foreign relations.

I mean, originally ‘dictator’ and even ‘despot’ were viewed as positive, more democratic titles than ‘king’. ‘President’ may go the same way.

The President already serves as the equivalent of the pontifex maximus (except our calendar doesn't need constant maintenance, because Caesar did a very good fix after he let the Roman calendar slip ~90 days off-season due to the fact that he deferred maintenance).
