GAG, a president, however democratially elected who moulds the process to keep himself in power and place his som in after him is not democratic.
The issue we have is with the monarchy and not with one individual. A system that means that Charles inherits by virtue of his birth is wrong. The Queen has no option, under the current system, to do anything other than hand over to her eldest son.
You may like the American system but you do not explain why you don't like Parliamentary democracy and why you dismiss the republican systems of Ireland, Finland or Germany (or indeed many other places).
