Barbra Streisand. We should be able to elect anyone we wish to be president. This country is run by and for the people. If that's what the people want, they deserve it. The same goes for limiting presidents to two terms.

YEAH! Who cares about silly little traditions like safeguarding the nation from life-long tyrants, from electing those who have no allegiance to this nation, or Constitutional limitations, anyway? Those old notions are just worthless in these enlightened modern times! Why, with the great increase in the numbers of non-citizens voting, we could even see a Mexican citizen, a Chinese citizen, or even the Pope himself (herself?!?) elected President of the USofA! Wouldn't that be great, to express our fondness for diversity that way?

Drip all you like, but try not to get any of it on your bare skin. Having term limits didn't stop Clinton for selling the country out to the Chinese, did it?

If the country had wanted Ronald Reagan for a third term, why shouldn't we have been able to elect him? I don't have to tell you that we would have been able to up until the mid-twentieth century.

During the previous two hundred years, how many life-long tyrants did we have? BTW, something fifty years old in a two-century old republic isn't really 'a tradition.'
