In a scenario where the United States manages to accept some form of constitutional monarchy, what form is the government likely to take? I'd expect the monarch to serve a role like that of President, but it being a lifetime role changes things somewhat. Would the legislature be granted greater powers to check the monarch's power? It seems possible the royal succession would be nominated by the monarch to be approved by the legislature. However, they may choose to keep hereditary succession anyway, to avoid politicians "campaigning" for the position.

My initial thoughts would be that the government to bear some resemblence to the Canadian or Australian government, but I'm not sure how applicable it would be here.
