That sounds good on paper, and initially I agreed. After studying the problems and comparing Presidencies, I've come to the conclusion that not term limiting is our best option.

I have to tell you that my position on this particular subject has changed 180 degrees in the past fifteen years. It came about because I was trying to support the six-year concept to a liberal friend (during the Clinton administration) and I eventually came to the conclusion it would be a bad idea.

And you want to hear something weird? I honestly believe that Clinton would have been forced out if he had not been term-limited. There are an awful lot of people who thought "Oh who cares. He's only got a little left anyway. How much damage can he do?" And the rest is history.
