We could choose, for instance, to restrict people to single terms. I don't think long term exposure to power is actually that helpful, and it creates brand names and political careers, none of which really seems to be that helpful.
I think restricting the presidency to 2 terms is actually quite positive, and I wish we had a similar system in Canada (although generally it works out to be more or less the same)
- mech422 3y agoSingle terms might be too short - but I'd be happy with anything <= a 20 year limit...2 terms (same as president), 3 terms, or even 4 terms.. I also think term limits are the first step towards getting anything else fixed. Without term limits, pols are always going to vote to get re-elected/more lobbying money instead of improving things.
