Josh has written more on monarchy, and the first thing to note is that he pulls off a footnote trick that, to my knowledge, not even David Foster Wallace ever tried. Well done!
Anyway, I think Josh is right to get away from the question of whether a "yearning for monarchy" is in some way natural to humans. Beyond that, I don't have much to say. Of course there's no way to introduce a powerless monarchy in the USA, and the political problem that makes monarchy attractive (unlike Colin Firth in The King's Speech, all of our leaders want the job) has do be addressed by more democracy — more activity on the local level.
