    I want a form of government where to become president you have to travel to 7 ancient temples and at each one pass the trial and acquire the artifact

      Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

        I’m shocked nobody’s commented on the reference yet.

        “Go away you silly k-nig-gtt. Fetchez la Vache!”

        “run away! run away!”

        For those too young to remember or haven’t been exposed to it, this is from Monty Python and the search for the Holy Grail.

        This is a must watch for any political cynic.

        Edit:. I’m sorry I didn’t see the duck comment that came an hour before me.
