“The Case for Extended Presidential Terms in the U.S.”

The question of whether the four year, maximum two-term limit for U.S. presidents undermines national and international interests, has become a pivotal issue in American democracy today. While this restriction was established with good intentions, it appears to be inadvertently stifling the very democracy it aims to protect, creating vulnerabilities both domestically and globally. This existing limitation, enshrined in the 22nd Amendment to US Constitution, was born out of a historical context that sought to prevent the concentration of power and safeguard American democracy. However, in the complex and rapidly evolving world of today, this well-intentioned amendment has become a barrier to sustained National progress and International influence.
