Why do you say that?

But the whole justification of some one being a monarch is that they are royalty and there is no one in America with royal blood so it would not be a legitimate Monarchy.

And that would just be copying us Brits.

Actually I can see three terms as being pretty reasonable, but four terms is the borderline!

Side: yes why not

I think that a President should be elected for more than two terms.

Definitely if someone is performing well and serving the people of the country then he/she should be elected more than two terms. if you are in bad financial condition than get florida loan title and enjoy because it is really easy to avail. In many countries president and prime ministers are elected more that three terms event.

I don't think it's bad with two, but it's a good amount of time.

Side: no its already bad with two

I don't think it's necessarily bad with two, but I think we should keep it to two terms.

I would endorse extending the length of each term to 5 or even 6 years though. The issue with the current term length is that pretty much any plan that is going to effect meaningful change in a nation of this size (not to mention how slow our government is in general due to the huge web of red tape) will take time to implement. A plan that takes time to payoff is extremely difficult to implement because of that. If a president starts one out during his or her first term and the payoff isn't here or at least obviously visible by the time elections come around, he or she isn't likely to be re-elected- and of course the next president will can the program that has since become unpopular. With 5 or 6 years per term to work with, a lot of plans that wouldn't be workable in 4 years become possibilities.

Of course, if we're to extend the duration of the presidency in any way, we'll need to also make the impeachment process easier to implement, but that isn't a bad thing either. I could even get behind changing the presidency to one term only, with a duration of 6-10 years or so, so long as the impeachment process is made a more viable method to remove an undesirable president. For example, reneging on promises made during the campaign process should be sufficient grounds to start the process, even if it's not enough in and of itself to complete it.

Fuck that! One term is enough... with two they spend most of their first just trying to get the second. I say term only but it could be a little longer... 5, maybe 6 years.

The President can only be elected two terms SIMPLY BECAUSE one of our presidents was elected FOUR friggin' times. Why would we lift that limitation? Especially with today's horrible politicians?
