Who Would Be King Today?
In 1782, a U.S. Naval officer wrote George Washington a letter, suggesting that he accept the title of king, but Washington strongly rejected the proposition and since then the idea of an American monarchy has not been seriously suggested.

Canadian chart enthusiast Matt Baker takes a fun and educational look at this fictional scenario, based on three family lines, since Washington had no children and therefore no direct descendants. In the following video, Baker narrows the possibilities down to three lineages: the Senior Line, the Custis-Lee Line and the Mount Vernon Line.
