→‎Giving up power: reply to Burke
Line 8: Line 8:     
The British Empire in 1936, when Edward VIII voluntarily abdicated, giving up worldly power to marry the wife of his choice, included India, Canada, South Africa, Australia, and many other nations right around the globe - Edward was the Head of State of all of them.  Washington's stepping aside after two terms as US president was trivial by comparison.  --[[User:Burke|Burke]] 12:02, 4 March 2007 (EST)

:By 1936, the King was merely a figurehead.  This was amply demonstrated by the events just prior to World War II.  He had essential no power.

:Also, the abdication was to obtain something else that King Edward VIII wanted (marrying a woman).  It was like resigning one position to accept another one.  Had the British allowed him to marry the woman and remain King, he would have done so.

:Washington declined permanent rule over the United States despite being relative young and in good health.  It was a pure declining of immense worldly power and the only similar example in world history was by Jesus.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 13:29, 4 March 2007 (EST)
