I can hear the Left scream “THEY ARE TRYING TO REVIVE THE CONFEDERACY!” on this one.

He might be less accountable, which may or may not be a good thing. Being elected a second time at least allows him (or her) to go back to the people for affirmation of policies.

I disagree for two reasons:

(1)Too long for a Presidential term;

(2)A President would have no incentive to care about what he promised the voters. A second term President has at least proven his trustworthiness to the voters satisfaction.

I second your proposal! If the candidate knows he has 1 term to get it done, then he won’t spend the first 4 years getting reelected, and maybe he’ll be serious about his office!
