I strongy diagree on that. The term limit is one of the things I like best in the US political system.

Perhaps you know that in Germany, we once had a 14-years-chancellor (Adenauer) and even a 16-years-chancellor (Kohl).

I know the difference between our parliamentary democracy and the presidential democracy practized in the USA, but I tell you, every government - even the best one - becomes tired and arrogant after such a long time and starts thinking that their interests are identical with those of the country.

Stay with your term limits, it worked good since the 1950s!



If the people get tired of whomever they keep electing they can simply boot him out.

I believe no term limits for the Senate and the House, but for the Presidency HELL YES! FDR only ran for a third and fourth term only because of WW2.

Why should their be no limits for Senate or House but limits on the President? I mean, I strongly strongly dislike FDR, he was a very destructive president, but still, that being said, he should have been able to have as many terms as he could get elected for, like any other person could.
