I like the idea of limiting how many times a person can be elected as President, but i feel that it should be 3 terms instead of 2.

OUCH! that's not good. One thing I envy about your country is the 2, 4 year terms. If it were so in my country, we might would have escape the sponsership scandals.

I'm of the mind to think two terms is enough.
I suspect this is because it's going to take longer
than they thought to get "Arnie" in.

If presidents were elected differently then it might not be a problem. It's the divisiveness of the election process that makes term limits necessary. What if a President was elected three or four times by a slim majority? Eventually the part of the country that didn't vote for him would give up, either by not voting at all or by openly attacking the presidency, calling it a monarchy and denouncing not only the President also but other half of the country that elected him. Term limits stir things up every eight years, and by changing our allegiences so often we don't get stuck in our old ways.

If there was a way to prevent political parties from polarizing the voters then we could all reach a consesus, and then having the same president for more than a decade wouldn't be such a big deal.
