An elected president has a stronger mandate to be controversial, especially in areas of thought and culture that lie beyond the domain of quotidian politics but shape the quality of the public space in which politics plays out. It would be inconceivable for a reigning monarch to attack the financial oligarchy, as Higgins did in his speech in Chicago.
当选总统有更大的引起争议的权力，特别是在日常政治范围之外但又决定着作为政治施展舞台的公共空间的质量的思想和文化领域。难以想象在位君主会像希金斯在芝加哥的演讲中做的那样攻击金融寡头。
