If “the Crown” screws up, Charles will be deposed or arrested or sent to the guillotine. If “the Executive” screws up, Biden will be given a Secret Service detail, a Presidential Library, a $65 million-dollar book deal, and a visiting chair at the Kennedy School of Government.
This is what Shakespeare meant when he said, “Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.” Really, the problem with our presidents (Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Barack Obama, George Bush, and all the rest) is that they don’t wear a crown. They have no right to rule. Their legitimacy comes from us, the voters. Ultimately, their failures are our failures. Ultimately, they can’t be blamed for anything. And so their heads lie too lightly.
In monarchies, there’s no distinction between the office and the office-holder. So, while power is the king’s birthright, he’s also more responsible, and therefore more accountable. In theory, this makes no sense. But in practice… well, the numbers don’t lie.
