We could change the maximum to two consecutive terms, that way Bill Clinton could run again in 2008, but George W. Bush could not.

The 2 term limit is "2 consecutive terms". This means one right after another. Bill Clinton could run again, if he wanted to because someone else has served at least one term since his last term.

No, I don't think that's a good idea at all- sorry. Much as I liked President Clinton, we don't set precedents for the individual, but for the future. Conceivably, two men could use that power to alternate the presidency amonst themselves back and forth for life.

Bill Clinton would never win now. Times are too serious for such a frivolous man.
He could not win unless there was a strong third party candidate opposing the republicans. He never got more than 46% of the vote, you know.

But then George could run in 2012.

Yeah!....I miss Bill!
Seriously? No, there's a reason for the 2 term limit. We don't want dictators!

oooooh, that would kill Hillary's bid for President. She would kill him, after everything he put her through. I think the public should have the right to make exception to this term limit, if a President is being very effective.

You can thank Republicans for not allowing Bush to run again.
