Description
Provides historical perspectives on the twenty-second amendment, including arguments pro and con, partisan debate, public opinion and the thoughts of several presidents. Examines related questions: Are term limits undemocratic? Do they limit presidential effectiveness, or preserve liberty and prevent dictatorships? Also discusses the idea of a single six-year presidential term, congressional term limits, and the overturning of New York City’s mayoral two-term limit.
