TopicThe argument against the 22nd amendment?!?

Term limits, are they good ultimately, or are they created out of fear?!? In a Republic, is it fair to tell people that they can't vote for the person they feel will best represent them? Imagine if the 22nd amendment prevented FDR from being president during WWII.

At the same time, we look at senators who are old and crooked, with no real chance of them being kicked out due to the incumbent-advantage. Could that happen with a president, someone who only has corrupt ambitions who will stay until he dies because voters hate change?!?

Then again, you can argue the constant change never gives us a chance to have an established administration with a real-long term plan that won't be ruined in the name of "politics."

I want to give a speech on term-limits, but I wonder which side I want to be on. The optimist in me tells me that we don't need them limits, while the cynic says otherwise.
