RE: What would you do if you could quit?
That's a great idea. Monarchs should be excluded because their position is usually hereditary and life-long barring serious health issues combined with an eager heir to the throne lined up.
That is good. They should. I am surprised Monarchy still reigns over countries these days though.
I wasn't expressing any kind of a political opinion but saying that to make a list of heads of state who have held the office the longest it would make sense to exclude monarchs for the reason that very long presidencies are usually a symptom of something gone wrong in the political system whereas a monarch can be a completely apolitical figure without power like Elisabeth II of the United Kingdom.
