Should the United States become an absolute Monarchy?

Non-Running

I'm tired of these presidential elections taking FOREVER. It's been going on for almost a year and we're still 3 months away from starting the general election. At this point a presidential election takes roughly 18 months, which is absurd. An incumbent president has to spend around 35% of their first term just to campaign for their second one. This isn't even including all the annoying commercial, signs, and phone calls for congressional elections. We need to get rid of all this crap and simply institute an absolute monarchy. Decisions are made way faster and we don't have to deal with this election nonsense all the time. Delegrates? Electoral college? Totally unnecassary.

Now who should it be? Obama? Decendent of Washington?

Term limits would resolve your issues. One time 5 years and you go back home. Then, perhaps, politicians will spend more time on improving our country instead of trying to build a nest egg for themselves and their grandkids.

Not really. We'd still have to deal with elections for the next guy.

Well you're onto something. America was not intended to be a democracy, since all democracies descend into mob rule. We have way too much democracy now, too many positions are elected, and way too many people vote.
