so i'm thinking that a person should be able to run for three terms and here's why... it seems like every president in recent times does what is needed for them to secure a second term -- tax cuts, immigration policies, whatever. The problem is, those policies might not be what's best for the USA. If the PotUS in his first term wants to serve three, he would need to back policies that will have a positive influence for more than just the year or two to get him to the second term.

just a random thought

I think they should only be allowed to do ONE 5-year term, and not be allowed to re-run consecutively.

yeah, that's a better idea.

it's silly that they spend so much time in their fourth year trying to get re-elected instead of doing their job.
