You make it sound like a monarchy is the only alternative to the US system. Your gridlock is bad, but monarchies are stupid and antithetical to modern values of equality and egalitarianism. There's no reason that a non-gridlock system couldn't be created that didn't involve hereditary monarchies. The UK Queen is looking like she's going to croak soon (I hope she hurries up with it) and then they'll have King Chuck and Queen Camilla. How ridiculous that will be. If the King/Queen was elected, it would be fine, but current monarchies are stupid.
