AIUI, every single American government since the inception of the Constitution has attempted to repeal the clause that says they can only rule for so long at a time. It's a damn good job Joe Public doesn't like the idea.


That's interesting, given that term limits for the President didn't exist until the 22nd Amendment, passed in 1951. Until that point, most presidents who served for two terms stepped down voluntarily to follow the example of George Washington.
