Now the idea of ending term limits is on the table. Fucking really? I know its coming from a professor and not the Obama administration but holy hell I never thought i'd actually see this being considered.

agreed i just find it fucking hilarious because when Obama was first elected people on the opposite side were screaming about 'king obama' and how he was gonna turn this country into a dictatorship, ending term limits, etc. Doesn't sound so batty now i guess

If anything Obama has made a stronger case for term limits.

to ease the problem they bring up in the article, we should make the future and former presidents work with each other for a whole year to smooth out the process of changing leaders.
-------------------- its that bitter-sweet-sour, electric-smooth-twang. everything you ever have, are. or will feel along with every emotion, joy, hate, love, fear or aspiration burning down your nerves and into the fabric of your place in this existence at ten thousand degrees above and below zero will you find yourself wondering if you've been dead or alive this whole time. being born over and over only to die over and over hoping the wheel stops in the same place it started when you spun it, and when it finally does and you can step back and take a nice deep breath you realize how beautiful life is, remember, wake up to the most beautiful day of your life every single day, its just the way.

if we gave up term limits-- it would become a dictatorship like Venezuela or Cuba.

The US has pretty good transitions. They get 2 months to turn over the reins.

People have been discussing the removal of term limits since term limits were put in place. Also, why wouldn't you just link to the WaPo article?

Maybe you should read the original WaPo article and maybe you'll realize that you're just wrong.

I doubt we'll see any new amendments to the Constitution for a LONG, LONG, time. Congress is far to divided to make that happen for anything.
