      He did serve for two terms. Back then, that was the most someone could do. The idea he could’ve been a monarch if he wished isn’t exactly accurate given the combination of public pressure, the way other founding fathers weighed in, and the fact that America’s then-neighboring allies the Haudenosaunee civilization was already a democracy superior to even the ancient Greeks.

          I meant that with the perspective of someone in mind who lived back then and would’ve thought the Greeks were the bee’s knees. If you lived back then and thought someone was doing better than the Greeks, you would feel humbled because the prevailing idea was that the Greeks accomplished a lot of things that they didn’t actually accomplish.
