  1. But he's right that, structurally, the US Constitution replicated the British government from the Georgian period - that is, the American president was made an empowered head of state, similar to King George III. Additionally, the senators were like lords - representing territories, not people. Consider that the upper chamber actually matters in the American system, because it was based on the old House of Lords - unlike the present House of Lords, or the Canadian Senate, or the Australian Senate, which are so many talking shops.

  2. @Jeffrey Dick The closest analog to prime minister is the Speaker of the House, who is the choice of the majority party, just like the prime minister. He is also a counterpoint to the president, just like the prime minister was to the king.

  3. @Jeffrey Dick I only claimed that the Speaker was the closest analog to the prime minister. They are not the same. I wrote that the Speaker was the counterpoint to the president, or, as you wrote, "hostile to one another." The prime minister's position was to control the king as much as be the king's agent in Parliament.
