“Therefore, the American people have wisely established a custom against allowing any man to hold that office for more than two consecutive terms. But every shred of power which a President exercises while in office vanishes absolutely when he has once left office. An ex-President stands precisely in the position of any other private citizen, and has not one particle more power to secure a nomination or election than if he had never held office at all, indeed, he probably has less because of the very fact that he has held the office.” - Theodore Roosevelt

And can we please just quit screwing around and establish these same limits on the house and senate!

Joe Binden - 36 years in the senate and now he’s VP. These people need to get a life, By law!

Ah, a quote from one of the biggest “progressives” ever. T.R. Not the great President I once thought. He started a lot of the problems we have today.
