If I wanted to get creative, I would establish the Christian Church in America and have baptism be a requirement for citizenship, along with monthly attendance in a Church being a requirement for enfranchisemant and public office. The "CCA" would be more organizational than ecclesiastical, since there's no way American Christians could be put in a single Church under one authority.

There's no fixing the corrupt, bureaucratic cancer that is the US government. I would not 'restructure' it at all, especially not into a monarchy. I'd abolish it and establish a single-party fascist state instead.

The way I'd do it is probably a Parliamentary Republic: a symbolic President that does literally nothing except greet diplomats and promulgate shit, the Prime Minister who is basically the overseer of his cabinet, and adopt a Westminster system. I'd also redo the Constitution, and maybe explicitly say in the new one that "it should be interpreted according to the conditions of today, not of when it was drafted."
But realistically, it's never going to happen, because inertia, and also because America hasn't yet tried everything else.

1. Stop using the Supreme Court to make de facto constitutional amendments and start using Article 5 properly.
2. Stop the Supreme Court from being a stick to beat your opponents with by making the selection process for justices be more bipartisan and/or bureaucratic.
3. Switch to instant runoff popular vote for presidential elections.
4. Make the president less powerful anyway.
5. Elect at least one of the houses by proportional representation.
6. Make it illegal to be Mitch McConnell. (This won't really help, the idea just amuses me.)

Though of course trying to keep up with today's demands is part and parcel of judicial decision-making, it is not all of it, and to have it predominate the deliberations of judges as they seek office (or a return to it) is to open the court to arbitrary notions, for bad in the long run.
