Certainly a good way to bring new blood into the system. I would not mind seeing 2 or 3 terms for senators (that's 12 - 18 years) , 6 terms for congress members (12 years max) and 15 years for supreme court judges.
I’d love to see presidents limited to one 6 year term. It would mean all their energy and attention would be focused on leading the country, instead of spending the first 4 year term running for reelection. And squandering all that time if they should lose in the end.
Not sure this is a good idea. That's too much power for too long without the public being able to intervene. Just think what 2 more years of Trump would have done to this country...
We may still find out. Also, if he didnt think he had a second term,l maybe his ass would not be on twitter so much and be studying reports more.
Yeah but.........hopefully (a big hopefully) we’ll never be that collectively stupid as a country ever, ever again. But then, after the debacle of 2016 I’m certainly not go to EVER hold my breath on that.....
If you don't or can't trust Carl Bernstein, or if you don't know who he is and what he has done, then you really have no idea what you are talking about.
Ive been around old corporate guys that have lost their drive and giddy up, many that continue on are either milking the positions for money, power and /or both. When I see Joe address the public he's definitely lost some of it, sad, but that happens when you get burnt out. Ill still vote for Joe unless he goes against cops and endorse's the radicle left. I will not vote for Trump because of his bs and I won't vote for Joe for the same reason.
...I fully understand your plight. But if you do the math you should be able to understand that every vote you deny Biden, you're conversely giving to Trump. ...and needless to say, Joe's VP pick will be huge.
I think a presidential term should be like high school.....every year you need to graduate to move onto the next year...and I think UCD is onto something with 6 years but you need to have an out if they are failing across the board at the job..yearly job performance audit.....also they need proper vetting before they can be on any ballot. Biggest thing is the campaign should be 6 weeks long total and no campaigning should be allowed until 6 weeks left in a term. Also no election should be allowed that only displays a competition between the two major parties...all of our parties need an equal shot at presenting their case no matter how little money they have...I was in govt class my senior year of HS and they taught that it takes 7 years in office to achieve major policy change...one term would not be enough
Sorry River, but without clarification - that is a horrible idea - because without some regulation - you will get thousands of nut cases presenting their crazy ideas for the same time ahead of everyone - which will present a glut of information where people will not be able to pay attention and who knows what kind of garbage prevails. I honestly believe that a small number of parties with primaries is a proper idea - you basically have a funnel that ideas have to move through multiple stages and pass enough people to be presented to the entire nation so we do not waste everyone's time on every crazy idea that some idiot comes with. Now, if the number of "parties" should be 2, 3, 4 or 5 is up to debate - but realistically, you need some kinds of mechanism to filter the wheat from the chaff...
I agree with HoopJ in general but this year Biden gets my vote, even though I’m not “really” voting for Biden. I’m voting for his Vice President, regardless of who she ends up being. That is the individual who is actually going to be cleaning up Trump’s catastrophe over the long haul.......
Bohner looks like a dirty word that will make you go blind and explains my eyesight. His name is Boehner which is pronounced with a long A rather than a long O.
