On one hand, FDR is one of the best presidents we've had. On the other, I don't want to see America with a Putin-type regime. I do wonder if it would curtail this pendulum-swing phenomenon if we had a more democratic system. --- http://www.lukesurl.com/comics/2010-02-24-determinism.png <cite>berlyman101 posted [p:941761945] in Is two ter...

Medussa 07/06/20 5:58:49 PM #8:	i think everything should be 12 years. President: 3 Terms of 4 years Congress: 2 Terms of 6 years or 6 Terms of 2 years (or a combination, but the house and senate count on the same clock) Supreme Court: 1 Term of 12 years these apply to the states as well, but with a separate clock than the federal equivalent. so, it's still possible to be a political lifer, but no more 17 term representatives. that's gross. you're doing it wrong. --- Boom!
