Syd (#39),

There are those that think term limits are the answer. But they try not to think of what an FDR or Carter or Obama could “accomplish” in a single term, nor of the results when voluntary terms limits were briefly in vogue, nor the fact that Presidents are already term-limited.

Nor of the increased power the bureaucracy and Congressional staffs would gain in such a situation (assuming no corresponding scaling-back of Federal power, which of course is your larger point.)

Subotai,

TWANLOC? Can’t seem to find an expansion of this acronym anywhere; help me out please.
