An Open Letter to the United States Supreme Court
As you know, the United States Congress has passed a constitutional amendment removing term limits from the Office of President of the United States. Some believe this is a good thing. Some would say that the will of the people is disturbed by having term limits and that they should be able to vote for whoever they want. This just isn’t true.
Term limits exist to keep the presidency fresh and to allow new people to help take care of America. Look at FDR. He was by no standards a “bad” President, but the idea of term limits was created because he won four terms and was essentially unbeatable because of his incumbency advantage and all of the good things he’s done. No one person should be allowed to hold a monopoly on being President. It could be argued that the people can just vote for someone new, but this is hard to do when they don’t know who to vote for. No amount of campaigning and advertising beats having the word “President” next to your name, which is why, combined with an incumbent’s popularity, ensures that they stay President forever.
Please don’t turn the United States Government into a dictatorship.
Signed,
Fauxtillion

| I agree, yuiopp. There is just no logical reason to do this other to ensure one person can maintain his grasp on power until they get bored. |

Your 100% correct. The term limits must stay, so our country isn't turned into a dictatorship. |

Can you keep your opinion off the shout
You yell when people do it yet you do it 24/7.
The reason why it's GOOD - Is because for one this is infact a KIDS GAME. Everything that happens IRL doesn't happen here. The majority of the people still pick who they want for President. Just they can run for it as much as they want. How the hell is that a problem? It's the people's vote, not yours. |
