We don't have a king or queen, never have. After the revolutionary war they offered to make George Washington king, but he said we just finished a war to get rid of kings, so we've never had a king (or queen).

The USA doesn't have a queen. The USA operates under a democracy, so there is no need for a queen. However, England used to operate under a monarchy, which had a king, queen, and other members of the royal family. Even though England now has a democracy, it still keeps the title of the queen for tradition's sake. The queen now has no real power in parliament in England; she is just a symbol.

Not all countries have Queens. America does not have a queen.
I guess that the most famous woman in America might serve the purpose of a queen for them, but it's really not the same as having a real Queen.

you certaintly are a dumb american, the queen of england doesnt have much say in the government these days so shes not technically a queen, there was an absolute monarchy over there in the 1800s and before that, where the queen controlled everyting but it doesnt work like that anymore, and in the USA we have a president so i guees hes the "king" so the "queen" would be his wife.

We have a political system called a Democracy. The UK has a Monarchal Democracy that came from a Monarchy. We haven't had a queen since our revolution. We have many queens here though, you can just go to Hyde street in San Francisco.

Be serious with your History lessons. There is no Queen in USA and it is a colony of all nationalities who got settled in the USA and native Americans were Nomads.

I think it has to be the Statue of Liberty. She has all the political clout of our Queen, appears to go on for ever, there's not a great deal inside and she originated from somewhere in Europe.
Just think yourself lucky that she's relatively low maintenance and doesn't keep corgis (the thought of a 30 ft high copper corgi boggles the mind).

It should be Queen Elizabeth, she would have made a better job of running your country.
