Question

What is the main reason some people believe there should not be any limits on presidential terms?

A. There should be a monarch instead of a president.
B. The people should decide how long a president can serve in a democracy.
C. Presidents get better with age and experience.
D. Term limits cause too much upheaval in government.

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. Since the president is only guaranteed 4 years (8 if re-elected), some argue that it's difficult to push through substantial change because of how long the processes are to make and ratify new laws. Since the party often switches back and forth between terms, the majority of the 4 years is spent undoing what the last party accomplished.
