If someone ran for President today and his/her loyalties were elsewhere, it would come out. The scrutiny a candidate receives today is extreme. Look at the attention Romney got over riding his dog in a carrier on the roof of the family car, lol.
That said, the law regarding Presidents that I despise is the two-term limit. The only thing that should be limiting anyone's terms IMO is the voters.
Oh, no! Term limits are important, as anyone knows if they've every had to live with an asshole of a State governor or city mayor who cannot be driven out because they aren't subject to such limits. However, I would be in favor of bumping the ceiling up from two terms, or (much better), extending the Presidential term to 6 years so that less time would be wasted on political campaigns.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
