Think of it as a political gambit-holding forth for an office that has lain vacant for millennia-a title once well defined, and recognized, but now, long since, abandoned, mystified and mythologized to absurdity because, for so long, it was just too dangerous even to imagine. And then, one day, the Children of the Covenant-the ones for whom, and by whom this office was ever created, reconstituted their sovereign nation, and elected a leader from their midst who gave state sanction of that title to someone here, in the Land of the Free.
