My only response to that is that the 2 term limit on Presidents seems like a really good idea.
Stupid idea. The general public should be able to elect an executive leader for however many terms they desire. In our system we have a Legislative branch and a Judicial branch separate from the executive.
Do most people here know that Madison and others argued when creating a bill for establishing executive offices like Secretaries of War, Treasury, etc... they debated whether to make dismissing the Secretaries be made with the advice and consent rule, just as appointments were?
So a third Bush term would have been a good idea?
Looking back, you might have a point.
If he was able to run for re-election in 2008, Bush would have had as much chance as the proverbial snowball in Hell.
