why not amend the law so that a president can ONLY sit in office ONE six-year term with no re-election hopes?

year one is the honeymoon. year two a little work gets done. another six months, a little more work gets done. THEN, ta da! now is the time to work on getting reelected, and it is assumed, by them, that they will, and they do.

so why not give them ONE and only one six-year term of office? then a one year honeymoon isn't all that bad. the rest of the time, five years, they would have to work in our interests (unless we allow them to act as Caesars). work, or get kicked out of office. work, or work without pay or bennies, just like we're doing these days.

why not?

no one liners. automatic thumbs down for those airhead sentences. i want to see you THINK. if you put links into your answer, make them pertinent and to the point. even if you come back to edit, give me thoroughness! 'cause, i do not like how dumbed down the youth of today is getting to be. i want SUBSTANCE and REASONING. up to it?

    Quick answer for you. Because a 6-year term may not be enough if it's an outstanding President. BETTER IDEA would be to get big money out of politics. Members of Congress currently spend 50% of their time on FUNDRAISING. They don't work hard enough for the people as it is.

    That's a good idea. Presidents become relatively unaccountable to the people in their second term because there's no re-election bid.

    Six years is too long without recourse to vote a president out of office. And who would kick them out of office?

    yes
