This would be true in a monarchy, but this is supposed to be a Republic. Don't confuse the office holders with the office. The "office" is the "King's office", which in this country is the Constitution's office, not the guy holding the office; which if it were so, this would be a monarchy.
In the late eighteen century, after the Constitution convention ended, Ben Franklin was asked what kind of government the new Constitution provided, he said "A republic, if you can keep it." Can we keep this a Republic? Or will we go the way of the Roman Republic, which became an Empire, and then dissolved into history as it became a nonentity.
The enemies of the Republic are winning.
