OK - I just saw a question about why isn't Bill Clinton running for president, and we all know the answer to that. Term limits. But, what if a president was so popular, that all parties were very much for his/her policies. What if the American people were VERY satisfied with this person. Why isn't there a little caveat written in that states something to the effect: If 75% of the senate, house, and general population vote for this person, they can get a 3rd term? Not only would this allow us to keep a superb and popular individual in the office, but also it would prevent lame duck 2nd terms. Your thoughts?

That's not what the Fore Fathers wanted.

Yeah, then after we change to 3 terms, we can go to 4 and 5, eventually we can just live and serve a tyrant.
