the president's veto is close to absolute although the monarch's veto is not absolute because the latter would face a rebellion.
the president is not elected by the people.
supreme court justices serve for life so the policies of the old executive last unless a new executive comes in who appoints judges that are different from the old president.
ex-presidents have tremendous influence in ways other than their policies lasting through the supreme court they chose.
and the constitution simply set the govt up similar to the way the british govt was in 1789 (and still is) and the only reason the former needed to be written rather than unwritten is because the supreme court needed something to pretend to interpret.
anyway, i think that constitutions only come in two kinds: 1. a treaty by a league of sovereigns all of whom voluntarily agree to be equal to each other and to not be above any law. 2. legislation that institutes a State in which its subjects are bound to by force.
so why do so many people think that the u.s. constitution is effectively any different from the u.k.'s constitutional monarchy?
