They aren't obligated to do anything.

>What do monarchs actually do?
They contribute to the oppression of the majority, enjoying privileges, money and other benefits over others.

The only logical, reasonable thing to do is to put them under the guillotine.

you shouldn't be asking what a 'monarch' does but what a head of state does in the parliamentary system which goes for countries like Germany who are a republic
the head of state is the ceremonial leader of the country without any real power, they do basically what you said, attend ceremonies and diplomatic events
the head of government does the actually ruling but only via support of their political party or coalition of parties to form a majority in parliament, basically congress
when you look at it this way you can easily see its actually better to have a royal in the head of state position because its more prestigious which makes sense for a position entirely about prestige, where it gets confusing is this system had been used in England for centuries when USA started their war of independence to install their alternative dictator styled 'president' with actual ruling power while berating the english for being undemocratic with a powerless royal

They rule by Divine mandate. Some have chosen to live a life of leisure by delegating their responsibilities to parliaments.

no single person wields power in the parliamentary system, the president in your system can declare war (as long as he doesn't actually call it a declaration of war)
it is absolutely undemocratic

>>73778026
they are elected to head the executive branch of government. of course the executive branch would be the one conducting military actions and dealing with foreign affairs it's in the name, 'executive'. why would the judiciary or legislature being doing it instead? presidents will use their executive power and people vote based on this. it's not undemocratic.

>>73778026
>it is absolutely undemocratic
How is it undemocratic? Is the POTUS not democratically elected?

>>73778206
Not if they lose the popular vote but win the electoral one.

>>73776655
They have valuable diplomatic and ceremonial roles.

Also, no matter how much legal power a monarch actually has, if you don't obey and respect your monarch then you ought to be imprisoned.

The electoral college is democratic and its purpose is to give small (population-wise) states representative power, thus the house of representatives too.

in parliamentary the head of state has no power, the head of government must declare war and he can only do so through the power of his party/coalition
In america the president can just do what he likes and is completely unaccountable unless the other branches have a legal way to step in, which they didn't when obama started warmongering and they sure fucking won't when trump starts it

The problem with American warmongering is that it largely got congressional approval. It isn't just the President.

>>73778544
>its democratic because we say so!
Funny how Trump was convinced it was a undemocratic sham until it own him the election.

Yes it is. That is exactly why it's not democratic. It's not the people that vote, it's the states, who just happen to chose by referrendum. The american citizens aren't the ones who make the decision, and this it is not democratic.

BeNeLux hate their crowned heads.
At least the british get some merchandizing out of them but the others are absolutely worthless.

A king who doesn't rule shouldn't exist.

The royal family is really popular here. Look up the numbers. Maybe that anon hates the king, but he is a minority.

He brings in tourists because they love muh royal. It is likely that he pays his keep in tourist money.

He creates jobs in gossip media.

He kept us from becoming a soviet republic in the 1970s.

He keeps the PM from getting too many delusions of grandeur.

Just electing a symbolic president would cost as much as the royal house does.

nobody knows about the Swedish king. The only really famous monarchs are the british.

The only thing the king of Sweden does is continuing to spread the evil seed of the traitor Bernadotte, he is the descendant of the Anti Christ and should be executed on the spot with his entire family.
