57. Oh yes we do get to see it

we got an Elected Emperor... I mean that.

The Imperial Presidency is not unlike a man wearing purple and the pomp and circumstance is there... if different.

You get this very clearly when the Emperor visits any of the outlying provinces... like when I was in Mexico City and the current Emperor visited Mexico City.

Then you fully get it, the power of the Empire and the pomp and ceremony that goes with it.

By the way, the local press, who had been already for two in a row, (Bush and Obama) called it what it is... the power of a roman emperor.
