Continuing from the Person Of The King.
I’ve made this comparison hundreds of times now and it’s still valid.
Execs of corporations get painlessly retired with a golden parachute when they’re incompetent or unsuitable for any reason. The only exception is when he’s the founder, like Elon or Henry Ford. Even in small businesses the founder gets to stay, usually with a manager doing the real work. I’ve seen this arrangement twice.
The prime minister in a parliamentary system is a regular non-founder CEO. The board (his majority party) can replace him painlessly and quickly when he fails for whatever reason, incompetence or senility or just the wrong leader for the current situation.
What we have here is NOT a corporation. We treat presidents and senators and Supremes like founders, or like hereditary monarchs… BUT we don’t have the compensating advantage of a hereditary monarchy.
A real hereditary system gives us the roll of genetic dice. Genes can produce psychopaths or nice imbeciles or decent rulers or great rulers.
“Elections” as currently conducted guarantee that the WORST OF THE WORST OF THE WORST end up at the top. It’s an extremely rigorous quality control sieve, selecting the most wicked quasi-human monsters in the world for president. After he’s in, he can’t be removed for any reason. The only break we get is the 4-year limit, but the break doesn’t matter when all the available “choices” are maximally torturous genocidal psychopaths. The next pair of “choices” will be just as bad, so it’s not really a break.
As currently conducted? See 1946. When Deepstate resurged from its richly deserved grave the day after FDR died, it created Kompromat Kamps for all top candidates. The Kamps guaranteed that only the nastiest can reach the top, only after thorough molding and blackmailing to insure total loyalty. Ike was the last unKamped leftover of the old system, the only president in the last 75 years who didn’t create any new problems or new wars.
