INB4 someone yells DICTATOR!
....but our sacred democracy?
I guess people are so happy they don’t live in fear of their lives from gang shootings anymore.
No term limits on senators, Congress critters, SCOTUS, district judges. But POTUS is term limited? Illogical at best.
Stupid BBC Brits and their ruler/subject mentality. It is not that he can “rule” indefinitely. Bukele “governs”, “holds office:”, “remains in office”, “can be reelected”.
By the way Brit azzwipes... how long can a Brit Prime Minister “rule”. Oh that’s right, there IS no limit.
Highly divisive.
Because the gangsters don’t like how effective he is.
SMART - Going to be tougher of the US Leftists to push him out of power.
No need to yell it.
Noooooooo!!!
This is where you go from hero to zero.
Bukele has accomplished the impossible. He is well and deservingly respected around the world for his accomplishments despite a liberal media which will hate him for being a devout Christian and conservative no matter what he does.
But if he moves in this direction, his legacy will be one of a dictator, not a hero that rebuilt a nation.
Don’t do it no matter how tempting it is!!!
Be a George Washington, not a Saddam Hussein.
THIS GUY is the REAL WINNER people should be rooting for, apparently.
Having no term limits may seem like a good idea at the moment, but I guarantee you, it will eventually bite them on the butt.
Term limits were implied for Congress, by the founding fathers. Unfortunately, they somehow underestimated the depths to which our society would sink.
I hope this is a political theater.
I hope this is where Bukele comes out and says, “no no, I’ll go when my constitutional time is up.”
That would really cement his legacy as a good guy, and a little show is ok. All politicians have to put on a show to some extent.
When term limits for the presidency became law, the current president (Harry Truman) was grandfathered in. Truman could have run for more terms had he wished.
That’s the way it must be done for Congressional term limits. You will get the support of current members only if you grandfather them in.
Then it becomes quite doable.
Cuts both ways. Some are too good to replace. Some serve past their sell by date-think Biden. Some you can’t gamble with potential replacements-think Senators Johnson and Collins for different reasons. Buelke too.
I would think term limits would hurt democrats more. They live for this $hit. Let them fight amongst themselves every 2 years. More entertaining too.
What is the current term limit for US Senators and House members?
U could do worse
Making El Salvador Great Again.
I wish El Presidente the best of luck in his endeavors.
Obama was so bad that I honestly expected the New York Times to call for him to be declared president for life.
