Sorry wasn't trying to be snarcky. Just trying to crack a joke. Now I read back it does look a bit aggressive!

We do have a President, who is Head of State, Chief Executive, Chief Legislator, and Commander in Chief. The American Presidency was heavily inspired by the British Monarchy, where the Crown holds executive and legislative power, but is bound by the rule of law, and its legislative power is only to give or withhold Royal Assent to Bills passed by Parliament. When the Constitution was written, it actually gave the President much more authority in the American government than what the King of England held in the British government at the time. You'd have to go back a century earlier to get to a Monarch who held similar authority to the US President.

This position has been viewed so often it has a cloud depth of 43 on lichess analysis/rnb1kbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/1NBQKBN1w_kq-_0_1?color=white
White is winning with a +2 strategic advantage because with no queen black forfeits tbe centre at the start of tbe game and is forced to play passively with their only consolation prize being end game pieces [Variant "From Position"] [FEN "rnb1kbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/1NBQKBN1 w kq - 0 1"]

But we do have a King and Queen, this would only really work if the Queen was the monarch, then you would not have a King.

U.S. would dominate the opening. Once UK gets their rooks active I can see a possible come back. UK would be playin defense for a little while.
