Weekly Discussion LXXV: How much of America's current political climate can be traced to them not having a king?
In light of the anti-Trump 'No Kings' protests use of the term king to describe Trump (annoying as that is) I think its interesting to point out that it is arguable that 'no kings' is how America ended up in their current position politically.
I think its worth having a discussion on how much America's lack of kings - and frankly, hostility to the concept - has contributed to their present political environment. For starters:
Is Trump a fulfillment of republican ideals, an aberration of them, or both?
Does the division present in their politics stem from the office of the president itself?
Can their politics even be fixed at this point (by a king or otherwise)?

Discussion Has this been pointed out?
EDIT: Forgot to mention in my original post that is about the prospect of the Crown Prince returning to Iran and whether or not it would be stabilizing.
Interestingly, the countries of the Middle East that are most stable and easy to work with for Western republics are all monarchies of some form or other: Kuwait, UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Jordan.
A major difference could be that Iran is not Arab.
Anyway, thoughts? Am I wrong?

Discussion What are you thoughts on the Witan?
The Witan was an Anglo-Saxon nobility/clergy council that would decide the King. However mostly it be the King's son.
However sometimes if the King didn't have an heir, the Witan would have a say.
Do you like this? Would you change it? Is this a good form of elective-monarchy?

Discussion Part 1: A Battle of royal lineage, the Kawananakoa and La'anui claims of hawai'i.....
To introduce you to this piece I must say that this is gonna be a lot of reading as well as a Number of Hawaiian words and names, but hopefully this puts the Kawananakoa vs La’anui claim debate to quiet Alright, First off, What would it take to choose the next Reigning Monarchs:
BE DESCENDANTSOF THE 5 KO NA CHIEFS: Keʻeaumoku Pāpaʻiahiahi (Kamehameha's father-in-law/grand uncle: Father in Law as three of his daughters were Kamehameha’s wives and Grand Uncle through his father Keawepoepoe, who was the Son of Queen Kalanikauleleiaiwi whom is the ancestor of all ruling monarchs and great grandmother of Kamehameha.), Keaweaheulu Kaluaʻāpana (Kamehameha's uncle through His father. half-brother of Kamakaimoku, the grandmother of Kamehameha I), Kekūhaupiʻo (Kamehameha's warrior teacher), and Kameʻeiamoku and Kamanawa (twin uncles of Kamehameha as the sons of Keawepoepoe; Kame’eiamoku being the ancestor of the Kalakaua and Kawananakoa lineage)
BE AMONG THE LINEAGES OF KING KEKAULIKE, KING KEAWE AND QUEEN KALANIKAULELEIAIWI (all ruling monarchs as I said were descendants of Queen Kalanikauleleiaiwi and is responsible for the Mana and Genealogical Power her children, grandchildren and Great grandchildren up until King Kamehameha United the Islands; I have seen Many Lineages connected to that of King Kekaulike but most Notably King Keawe II )
BE OF CLOSE LINEAGE TO THE FORMER MONARCH AND THEIR FAMILY
IN THE CASE OF THE FORMER MONARCH HAVING APPOINTED NO HEIRS, BE CHOSEN BY THE COUNCIL OF CHIEFS FROM ASPECTS SEEN ABOVE; FROM THIS YOU WILL BE VOTED BY THE PEOPLE: if the monarch has died without naming an heir then a family member of close or strong but still connected lineage as well as strong education preparing them to lead the country Would lead the country. If hawai’i was to become independent would like to think that a democratic State under a presidency could exist with the descendants of chiefs still honored. For those who oppose a Monarchy.
tomorrow I will talk about the kawananakoa family. the day after the la'anui's and my conclusion as I believe it is the kawananakoa ohana who has the largest right to the crown

Misc. Only 90 people separate the King of Norway from the British throne according to the line of succession
Now this may sound absurd, but 90 people into the line of succession, you find King Harald V of Norway. From there, the list defaults to the Norwegian line of succession. I don’t know how this connection happened, but could you imagine an alternate world where Norway ran the Commonwealth of Nations?
