Good Lord, that is the last thing we need.PJ_Soul said:That term limit thing... I don't think 2 terms is long enough, for cases where the President is doing a good job. I feel like the voters should decide how long a President sits in office, or at least make it a 3 or 4 term limit. As we all know, 8 years just isn't necessarily a long enough time period for some good major initiative to get done or to be solidified enough to not be torn down by the next guy from the opposing party.. If the public doesn't like the initiative(s), great. Then he doesn't win another term. But if they do like it, or want to give him more time, they can't, and that sucks, especially when the next nominees stink. The 2 term limit seems to often end in a shitload of wasted time.

I understand neither Hillary's email account, nor her contraversial personal server were ever proven to have been hacked.
Of the tens of thousands of emails investigators reviewed, 113 contained classified information. That's less than 1%.

I was not comparing her to anyone else, I'm not a fan of anyone being careless with any classified information, which she was found to have been. I just stated that it was one of the reasons I did not like HER.CM189191 said:

You realize that it would be opening the door for someone like Bush or Trump staying in office longer as well, right? I vote we keep it at 2 terms, 8 years max.HughFreakingDillon said:

of course, but i doubt that would happen. the longest Canadian PM's last is a decade or less. if someone is doing a shit job, eventually the public get fed up. but if a good one is in, let him stay there.PJPOWER said:

It's about having diversity. All those career politicians are the same. And just having the politician or president not being a career politician does't mean he/she doesn't have staff that has experience. You can have leadership experience without it being government experience. Lots of successful companies move great leaders around into many different positions to benefit from their leadership and questioning of the status quo. I feel the same can be true for government.CM189191 said:

I got on the plane, and was thankful there was a pilot in the cockpit, as opposed to say...Harrison Ford. I thought to myself, that person looks like they know what they're doing and have been doing it for sometime. I can probably trust them to do the right thing if shit hits the fan.

1 6 year term. or heck I guess I could buy into 1 8-year term potentially as well. I think we'd get much farther with a president that doesn;t have to waste time/energy/political capital campaigning.hippiemom = goodness0 -

the great thing about the parliamentary system is, if the guy sucks balls, you aren't necessarily stuck with him for the full term like you are in the US. the rest of the government can basically remove him and his party by a vote of no-confidence. a better way of putting it:
A parliamentary system is a system of democratic governance of a state where the executive branch derives its democratic legitimacy from its ability to command the confidence of the legislature (parliament) and is also held accountable to that legislature.Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer0 -
What? No, I am not saying that terms should be eliminated. You can't just have an election whenever. They cost a hell of a lot of money, so have to be spaced out. And having too quick a turn over would just create constant government chaos.PJPOWER said:

It's true. I am not a huge fan of Hillary, but I will NEVER get the loathing people have built up for her... I 100% feel like people have literally been brainwashed into hating her at that level. I just don't understand how they all fell for it.Kat said:She was not going to concede early like Al Gore did and then have to retract it. The votes were still being counted and so she didn't need to make a personal appearance until it was time. She did it appropriately, but nothing she ever does will ever satisfy people who hate her. She would have made a very good president; she is so well-prepared...and...well, that's all.
When you ask people why they hate Hillary? 99% of them will have no clue why
I took a flight this week on a plane to Greenville, SC. Nice town.
I got on the plane, and was thankful there was a pilot in the cockpit, as opposed to say...Harrison Ford. I thought to myself, that person looks like they know what they're doing and have been doing it for sometime. I can probably trust them to do the right thing if shit hits the fan. You know, instead of killing us all.
To each their own I guess.
I will always push for term limits. The public is generally too stupid to do the right thing. Incumbents get entrenched and bought off by big money donors and take orders from the highest bidder rather than the public.

Alright. So Americans are too stupid to vote. Noted.unsung said:

It's about having diversity. All those career politicians are the same. And just having the politician or president not being a career politician does't mean he/she doesn't have staff that has experience. You can have leadership experience without it being government experience. Lots of successful companies move great leaders around into many different positions to benefit from their leadership and questioning of the status quo. I feel the same can be true for government.CM189191 said:

Every time I read this it makes me wonder....all that's saying is she is the longest term CAREER POLITICIAN that ran for president. And really, that's what the country rejected. And I can go along with rejecting that...just not for trump.CM189191 said:

It is common sense.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -
I can agree with you on that. It's hard to believe Congress does not have term limits. We all bitch and moan about "change" every election, yet Congress always has around an 80-90% incumbency rate.unsung said:
