You forgot the House of Stuart. Also, the House of Tudor claimed parts of the USA.
So you should install the current Duke of Bavaria as King.

This thread reminded me of what one of my history professors told us in 2004. The poor guy was like 90 years old and sometimes we weren’t sure if he was all there, but my god, in hindsight, some of what he told us was spot on. He said how the U.S. is less like a republic and now more like a constitutional monarchy. Back then, with everyone railing against Bush and the “imperial presidency,” I didn’t quite get it. But when Obama showed up and people seemed willing to give up every freedom they had for his royal highness, I got the point. During the 2008 Obama campaign, I even told a friend, “It’s almost as if Americans want a fucking KING again.” He replied, “Well, yes. We NEED that!” /palm to the face
The prof. also said, relatively early on in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, that the age of the temporary “citizen-soldier” is ending and a new age of professional soldiers and mercenaries is beginning, because wars will go on and on longer than a citizen-soldier could handle. Enter the private security companies, like the knights of old!
That’s brilliant, that’s exactly what’s occurring. As the constitutional protections and limits erode, now almost entirely gone, that’s what we’ll be left with. And that will lead to the destabilization of the republic long-term.
