there's only been 2 - 4 year term limits in the white house since i was born and therefore, i've never experienced anything different. surprisingly, when clinton was in the white house, i would have liked for him to be able to run again. i thought he was a good president, that is until all the background information came out about him. thanx to him, i started paying more attention to the political arena.

if push came to shove, i'd like to see the limitation on terms done away with. part of freedom, proper is the freedom to vote for the candidate that feels right. if he's forbidden to run simply because of an outdated ammendment, that curbs a small piece of our electoral freedom. after all, it's not just the term limit that's been enforced but also a curbing of our right to vote for whom we want in the white house as citizens.
