Democracy allows the common man to make his own bed, and indeed he must lie in it. Democracy allows him to govern himself and make decisions, no matter how stupid. I am not a fan of this "maximalist" democracy, but if you want to make a valid claim to it, term limits run counter to its spirit.

However I am strongly in favor of term limits in countries with weak democratic institutions. As they mature, term limits can be abolished.

You could theoretically, but it wouldn't make much difference. The voting populace of today is too skeptical, impatient, and pessimistic to reelect a President twice.

Very, very true.
