Would you honestly want Shrubby in for longer? Eight years is eight years too much for him. If they had more, it would almost be like a Dictatorship.

Having a limit of two terms for a president helps to protect the country from falling into a dictatorship.

Based on our last 3 two-term presidents, they tend to flame into the ground by the end of the 2nd term anyway.

Why?????? No one would want George Bush again but I heard on Fox news that the Republicans are trying to talk Jeb Bush into running would that make you happy ?
All I can say is if this is true and the Republicans steal another election for yet another Bush for President I'll quit voting and that will be a first in 35 years!

Are you nuts? The amount of time a president has is already long enough. The longer an elected official retains power, the more likelihood there is for the onset of complacency, arrogance, and misuse of that power. Why SHOULD a president have more opportunity than he already has? Name one good reason.

Because evidently it's easy to rig elections, so someone could always and forever be our president. Too much power is gained. Do you really want 3, 4 terms with Bush?

Your not into politics!. Castro has been president for (like) 40 years. Cuba is a no growth nation under the dictatorship and communist rule.
Every nation needs to allow the people to change the leadership (democracy) every so often for the sake of development, a new view, a new goal and purge the deadwood.

I have often wondered that...being that the power is supposed to be with the people. Our country had its most fruitful, fun and profitable years when we had the same PM for approximately 15 years.
