Sometimes you just have to love Google. I suspect that they may have become a leetle bit tired of the stupid.

Go to Google Maps, type in something like 'New York to London'. Check out Step Number 23...

I think the Magna Carta set the stage for that...

Possibly. But don't forget that we got rid of our king, by chopping his head off, with the idea of sort-of implementing Parliamentarian rule under Cromwell. But we still ended up giving Cromwell a title and when he died, promptly invited the deceased's king's son back as monarch again...

On the plus side, we chopped our king's head off well before the French! *smug*

Well, we've only deposed one monarch president. A friend living in Africa at the time said that the locals were quite surprised there was no blood shed in the fall of Nixon.
