It's a balancing act between the will of the people (to keep the same person in the job) and the intent and supposition of the framers (having a citizen-legislature).

If it came to a vote, I'd probably vote for a term limits amendment. But I'm not so confident it's the right thing that I'd get out and actively pursue one.

It is in the Constitution after FDR served 4 terms I believe it was

Would you want George Bush President 8 more years, or Clnton for 12 years ect ect
I only use those names as they are the most recent ones
