George Washington is the one who establishes the policies of presidents not to serve more than two terms in office. I think this amendment important because the founders did not want a dictatorship. This amendment wouldn't allow that to happen they can only stay in office less than eight years. Every four years we vote for a new president or the existing president to stay in office for four more years.…

    The average length time congressmen are in office is between nine and ten years. While this may be fine, at least two members of the House and Senate have spent more than fifty years in office. This lack of political turnover is some Presidents, including Donald Trump, campaigned to create turn limits. While sounding appealing, no President would ever turn on their party by creating term limits. Along with the line item veto, the Supreme Court ruled that congressional terms limits were unconstitutional.…

    The United States of America was founded on a need for political and religious freedom. The people grew tired of being ruled and wanted to be part of a self-governing society. The Constitution was created to limit the powers of the federal government so that everyday citizens could have some semblance of control. The Constitution is the governing document that establishes a three tiered legal system that shares powers to prevent any unbalance that would take away from democratic ideology that supreme power of the land is vested in the people. There was a motivation for fairness and balance as well as social and political equality.…

    In the wake of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s historic run as undisputed leader of the free world, vindictive Republicans and Southern Democrats got together to pass the 22nd Amendment to limit the president to two terms in office. There is loophole in the amendment in that a president can serve more than two terms if they are an African-American. The feeling was that it would never happen, so there was no need to stop it. Unfortunately, the only person who would apply for this loophole decided not to run. Thanks Obama.…

    Given the inequality between the president and the premier, one might ask, can we truly consider the Republic of France to be a duel-executive political system? This can also be known as a semi-presidential system where the roles of the president and the prime minister are both considered being political leaders. The problem is found in the amount of dominance that the president has over his appointee. It might be argued that France is considered a fully presidential system because of the extensive power that the president holds to check others and maintain their position, and, in contrast, the lack of power that all the other areas of government have on the president to maintain a balance of power. When you think about it, to create a true…

    Although there is not currently a term limit placed on all members of Congress, the democratic process would greatly benefit from the enactment of an established limit. Serving as a member of Congress should not be idealized as a career choice, rather one should serve with the desire to create a change in policy and dismiss himself when that change is seen through. The pros to instituting a term limit on Congressional members far outweigh the cons because the primary goal of both the House of Representatives and Senate should be to bring positive change to our nation. Without term limits we will continue to be stuck in a mediocre cycle of citizens who are unhappy with their government, but unwilling to do something about it. Some may believe that setting a term limit for Congress is “resorting to an indirect instrument” to voting for the incumbent (Kong-Pin Chen).…
