Hmmmmm. There is no such rule in Canada, where prime ministers can be elected any number of times in a row (and have been on some occasions). However, Canada is a very different kettle of fish from the USA. In the USA I think it's a good idea to limit the office to just 2 terms for any one person.

The real problem though, is this: The guys who really run the system are not people you will ever have a chance to vote for, and they are there for life. Clinton and Bush are just their front men. It's a dictatorship masquerading as a democracy and going through the motions every 2 years to keep the people believing they are free.

That is the case in Canada as well. If a man believes consciously that he is free, is he? There's one for the philosophers to debate...
