A term I just learned and which I think should be talked about more in the context of American politics is Necrocracy, rule by the dead. The only officially Necrocratic country is North Korea, with its first president Kim Il Sung still officially being the president even though he died in 1994.

But I think the way Americans, especially American judges and lawmakers, idolize and defer to the Founding Fathers is bordering on Necrocracy. Trying to apply the perceived will of long dead people in decisions that will not affect them but will affect the people who live right now and will live in the future.

Despite dying in 1994, Kim Il-sung remains president of North Korea. The constitution was revised in 1998, declaring him 'Eternal President of the Republic'. As a result, North Korea became the only necrocracy in the world - a government operating under the rules of a deceased former leader. – WTF Fun Facts
