So today my daughter (age 9) asked me why we need a President. Since I never give the short "just because" answer, I proceeded to explain systems of government to her. We talked a bit about democracy (rule by the many), aristocracy (rule by the few), & theocracy (rule by the church). Then I asked her what she thought a monarchy was . .. to which she replied: rule by butterflies!
After much laughter, we decided to read the Constitution as a bedtime story!
