    Term limits are undemocratic. Most of the same arguments for term limits can be used against democracy.

    If elections are broken the solution is to fix them not set term limits.

      Get over it? Nah, maybe we should regime change the U. S. and replace it with a democratic government ;).

          I am quite happy with a constitutional republic.

          I suspect I would be, too. If we had one. The oligarchy we do have, however, I am not happy with.
