Term limits

>>Except I was just curious what does v= stand for? I don't know what you are talking about, but this is irrelevant. >>I'm saying that if you don't like the president you can't vote for another one the next day you will have to wait till the next election which probably is in 4 years. Then how does having a term limit stop this? If the President is someone who is very good, and he is elected for his first term, and he changes his views, then what can we do about it? If he does something we don't want him to do, then what can we do about it? When we elect the President, we compare him against everyone else and we choose who we think is best for the job. If on the first day of the job, he changes his views, then what can we do? This point is irrelevant. >>Not really if there was another candidate people still might vote for the same president, he actually can be liked forever because if the leading religion or belief is the one he shares then he will always win whether he should or shouldn't. This is assuming a lot. This is assuming that a Christian President is going to be elected no matter what because he is Christian!!! Just in case you didn't know, Christianity is the leading religion in our country. According to the World Almanac of 2003, 84% of people in America were Christian. There are approximatley 300 million people in the USA today. Assuming that this figure is correct, which I believe it is, there should be 252 miliion Christians. Back to my argument. Just because there are a lot of Christians in the US, it does not mean that they will all vote for a Christian candidate. That would not be a separation of church and state. That would be millions of people voting based upon religion and religion only, something that goes against one of the founding principles of this country. >>I do believe that we did draft the declaration of independence but are you sure that the people are always right. Have we always been right to not pass the alcohol bill or anything else? No. Also overthrowing a president? Do you know how hard that is to do. You act as if you can just decide and he's overthrown the next day. No, it takes a long time and a lot of people have to agree with you. No, I am not sure that people are always right, but I do believe that the reason that they are not right is that they do not know the full story. If we had known the horrific effects of an atomic bomb, would we have dropped it on Japan? Most likely not. But back to my rebuttal. I am not saying that if one person does not like the President we can throw him out. The only way you can throw the President out of office is if you impeach him, or convict him of a crime. If our president does not break a single law, but does things that we do not want him to do, then we cannot order him to stop.You can petition him, but that is the extent of it. I am not saying that we should overthrow him, I am just saying that if it was needed, it is possible. But we are straying from the topic. The topic is about Presidential term limits. >>If the president is doing a good job that is good that's what our country needs but what about the other people who want to try to become president? Then the people who want to run for the Presidency can do so! It is not like one President will always be president! Look at every President before FDR! They all had a chance to run for more than 2 terms, yew they did not have a third term! Why? Because someone else wanted to run for president and the people liked the new person more! My opponent has not been able to put forth an argument that holds any water, and because I have refuted all of the ones that hold any water, if any, I should win this debate. In conclusion, my main argument is: if the President is very well liked, and all of the other candidates are not as good, then there should be no reason that the President should not be able to run for a third office or more! To elaborate, if the President can do a better job than all of the other candidates, then shouldn't he be the President next? Why should a term limit limit how long a President can be in office if he will only be in office as long as he shows himself to be better than all of the other candidates in the Presidential Election!
