So it seems you've discovered one of the great flaws with the american (roman) system. There are others of course... but there's no way to ensure a leader's grip on their country remains severed and their plans remain short/ineffective than by forcing them away from it every 4 years 
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
