There is a King in Britain. Why is there no King in the United States?

There isn't a king in Britain, and there hasn't been since the seventh century, when there ceased to be a Britain. There isn't a king in England, either, and hasn't been since the last one's head fell before Whitehall.

There's no king in the US since his heart gave out in 1977.

Isn't Charles 3 the King of Britain?

Nominally. But he's a figurehead, and nothing more.

That's kinda why the united states exists in the first place, fuck that king, queen bullshit.

I do wish schools would teach history. The us when it gained independence decided to become a republic. They had just detached themselves from one king the last thing they wanted was another single person running their country.
