The opposition party wouldn't spend four years trashing the incumbant at every opportunity like they do now.

And the incumbant wouldn't have to pander to all these interest groups.

The no votes have now caught up with the yes votes.

I'd be interested in hearing why someone opposes this.

This amendment bans multiple terms.

It would only be six years of Bush.

You could not be reelected to the office of President under the Confederate Constitution, so it's similar to this.

Quote from: SE Gov. Ernest on October 28, 2004, 11:41:06 PM
How about the seventh of the seven amendments proposed by the Hartford Convention in 1814?
"The same person shall not be elected President of the United States a second time; nor shall the President be elected from the same State two terms in succession."


What were the other six?
