He already tried that...

George Bush met The Queen, and he turns round and says:
"As I'm the President, I'm thinking of changing how the country is
referred to, and I'm thinking that it should be a Kingdom".

To which the Queen replies, "I'm sorry Mr Bush, but to be a Kingdom,
you have to have a King in charge - and you're not a King."

George Bush thought a while and then said: "How about a Principality
then?", to which the Queen replied "Again, to be a Principality you
have to be a Prince - and you're not a Prince, Mr Bush".

Bush thought long and hard and came up with "How about an Empire then?"

The Queen, getting a little fed up by now replied " Sorry again, Mr Bush,
but to be an Empire you must have an Emperor in charge - and you are not an
Emperor."

Before George Bush could utter another word,
The Queen said: "I think you're doing quite nicely as a Country".
