Term limits....The rebels were smart, at outset of the Civil War, they rewrote our constitution. They adopted the old one with a few changes. They recognized the rise of professional politicians, to prevent this they adopted term limits, for all, including a one time six year term for office of president. The six year term was settled on because they knew that to elect a man for a term, he would be running for office from day one for re-election. That is the sorry case we have now. They reasoned that if the president was in for one term, no chance for reelection, he would do what was best for the country, not what was best for his re-election.
I have to agree with their thinking. Too bad they did not win as far as the constitution is concerned.
