The monarchy stops things like Jan6th from happening, probably would have limited the whole hanging chads thing as well. They (via the GG) have peacefully resolved the 2008 constitutional crisis as a canadian example. The monarchs power and money is tied to exactly one thing, the current political system continuing, that is their only power and it aligns with their incentives. I don't like the monarchs, but I like constitutional monarchies and I don't see a good way of setting up a new head of state that isn't elected (and thus corruptible). Perhaps a Native leader of some kind.
