Default Obama meets the Queen

Obama was having a private chat with the Queen and was discussing
with her the need for America to have an hereditary leader.

He proposed that he could become Emperor Obama, but the Queen
advised against this as he would need an Empire.

"How about a Prince then"? asks Obama. "No you would need a
principality for that" says the Queen.

"What about a Duke"?, again a negative answer in that he would
need a Duchy.

"Personally I think you should be happy with a country" says the Queen
finally.

An old one. But the subject reminds me of the Harold Wilson (UK prime
minister in late 60's early 70's) line that

Britain is a republic with a hereditary president, while America is a
monarchy with an elected king.
