The last two years of a two term Presidency tend to be unsuccessful due to lame duck status and excessive concern about legacy rather than problem solving. Conversely, the first two years tend to be an expensive learning process filled with mistakes. Isn't it unrealistic to expect an entirely new Executive Branch to be up and running in less than three months after the election?
What if we limited the Presidency to a single six year term, with the election occurring two years before taking office? The President-elect could even take over as Vice President and would have time to prepare for a smooth transition and fully functioning government on Day One of his term in office.
