Proposal for 3rd Presidential Term

DebateChallenge said:
I am going to start of by stating what we already know, when somebody is elected to be President of the United States the term is for four years and then after that they can be re-elected for another four years for a total of eight years. You can only be President twice so eight years is the maximum amount of time you can be President. I propose that after eight years a President should be able to be elected a third time but this time it will be only two years and then that will be it. So that makes the maximum amount of time a person can be President ten years, thoughts?

You only floated the idea based on you being a Trump fan. If Trump was not President, you would have never come up with such a stupid idea. Well you probably would have come up with a stupid idea, but not this one.
 
It just sounds like a great deal of trouble just to have an extra two years. It doesn't make sense.

We already have a constitutional limit of 10 years, if you were the VP and the president died. (Check the 20th or 22nd Amendments, I forget which)
 
Two terms is good enough yet there are a few saying that's too much.
