Trivia: John Adams controversially wanted the President to have what title?
Emperor
His Highness
Supreme Leader
King
The correct answer is His Highness
So why is this answer correct? : Although the U.S. had just revolted against the British monarchy, John Adams — who served as the first Minister to Great Britain — preferred titles used for royalty. He proposed that the President of the United States be referred to as “His Highness,” a suggestion that enraged his colleagues and saw him mercilessly derided in the press.
