I don't believe Bill Clinton ever clearly stated his position on congressional term limits. Do you know what they were?

If you're talking about Presidential term limits, you don't need a constitutional amendment for that. It's already in there.

I think the uniqueness of that office makes it a special case for term limits. I wouldn't support an amendment changing that rule.

A president in his second term doesn't have to answer to the voters, but he has to answer to the judgement of history far more so than the relatively anonymous lawyer representing Idaho's six district does.
