I voted no because I think that six years is too long of a term for a President to be in office and also that the President wouldn't have to care about public opinion.

On a related note, I do lean towards repealing the 22nd Amendment because I do think that people should be able to elect whoever they want for President regardless of how many term he or she has served. I don't buy into the benevolent dictator argument because most Presidents would still step down after two terms because of the scrutiny they would face. A two-term President seeking a third consecutive term in office would likely be challenged for their party's nomination from other serious contenders. There is also the historical precedent of Presidents, who are in their second term, start to decline in popularity.
