The United States did not want Kings and Queens lording over them. It's a New World.

From what I know it is because the 13 colonies were afraid of the king of England when they were colonized. So when they started the "United States of America" they left more power to the people, instead of one head. I think it is also a reason why check and balances was created. For the queen in the UK isn't it just like if they were Paris Hilton, they just get money form their government but really do nothing. ( not trying to say the queen is like Paris, don't think their is a "One Night In Elizabeth"). Also I don't think there is a king, just a prince.

Um, The Royalty doesn't actually rule in England anymore either. THeir king was ours, until we through them off with a war. 1776 or so. Somehow a Republic was put together. If you really want to know a more detailed explanation, take a history course or find a history book. 1776 by David McCollugh is pretty good. Your question is quiet complicated.

OK - I'll take you seriously, even if I can't tell if you are serious or not. Many of the first settlers became upset with taxes imposed by the King of England. When the Revolutionary War was finished, the people decided to have a government by the people, for the people. That meant elected officials and no dynasties. Hope that helps...

because the USA didn't have the same start as a nation.To begin with it was for a while a group of Royal appointed missions/colony.
But England started as a
Maybe the Bush clan or the Kennedys will be prop by a next weak again Congress into such old fashioned Office,one day.
Some even consider such the "natural" obvious evolution(or degeneration) of poor Democracies.And America plays very risky with an "omnimportant" Military and corrupted Administration officials

Because 231+ years ago conservatives living in what was to become the United States of America lost there fight to remain subjects of King George.

The majority of people answering this question appear to be American. Contrary to popular belief, we are not ruled by a monarch. We have a Prime Minister who is equivalent to your President. The Queen is just a figurehead nowadays with no power.

Remember the Revolution in about 1776? That is why we proudly have no King or Queen.

The city of Chicago and by default then the state of Illinois has King Richard Daley. I think the Kennedy's are uncrowned royalty in the us.
