"No person shall serve as President more than 2 consecutive terms (plus less than the final 2 years of the preceding president's term due to death, incapacitation or resignation for a total of 10 consecutive years.) AND ....no person shall serve as president more than 4 terms."

My vote is a very strong NO!!!!!

Trump (Clinton, MI): "...my second term, which we are sort of having now..."

Trump's 45th term was the setup term, telling us all about draining the Swamp, without actually doing much draining.

Trump's 46th term, a shadow term of sorts, is on bidAn's watch while deep Swamp draining is occurring (I have links proving this, as 45th term EO's are invoked and indictments accumulated).

Trump's 47th term will feature a MAGA/KAG term, with the largest deportation in American history (imho, facilitated by significant financially motivated self-deportation)

We need to 86 46.

No comprendo.

[C210N]

Where do you figure that?

[NorthMountain]

No.

Two terms and out. ‘Twas good enough for George Washington.

I first remember the term from the 1980s, as it was popular with the DJs on the radio at the time to talk about 86-ing '85, as in saying goodbye to 1985. I knew the term prior to 1985-1986, but can't recall when/where I first heard it.

How about.....nobody kill babies in the womb.

And another....no government.

The Confederate constitution had a six-year term of office for the President. We fought a civil war over that and the supporters of a six-year term lost. So that issue has been settled.

The danger with this proposal (which will never get adopted) is that it could be used to get Clinton or Obama back in office.

[Verginius Rufus]

The US and Britain had already agreed on giving the eastern sector of Germany, including Berlin, to the Soviets to occupy, so if we had rushed to get to Berlin first we would have pulled back afterwards--and a lot of Americans would have died in the taking of Berlin. The Soviets took Berlin, but let the US, UK and France have the agreed-upon zones of West Berlin to occupy.

FDR at Yalta believed Stalin's promise of free elections in Poland. I don't think anyone at that time foresaw such a large part of Eastern Europe coming under the control of satellite regimes.

Time passes and the desires of men don’t change.

[Az Joe]

I want Trump for two more!

[Wuli]

I don’t believe in dynastic politics in a democracy.

“Incumbent Presidents seeking to extend into an additional term are the source of too many governmental excesses.”

Yes. People dream up these things with particular people in mind, while forgetting that once put into affect the same rule could apply to persons they very much oppose.
