In Russia, they have the same term limits, but they only apply to consecutive terms, which is why Putin was able to have two terms, then spend one term as Prime Minister, before finally getting re-elected for a third term in 2012.
I think that whilst the idea of term limits is generally good, it shouldn't be so strict. What if you elect a really good president who does wonders for the country? 8 years really isn't a very long time.[/b]
Agree completely. A 4 year term is not enough time to wipe Karl Rove's acid piss off the toilet seat.
On a side note, did you know Putin won 99% of the vote in a village in Chechnya, and won large amounts of votes throughout Chechnya, and no one paid attention to it.
