How might presidential behavior change if we once again allowed presidents to serve more than two terms? Be as specific as possible.

Do you think term limits on the president should be maintained or removed? Why or why not? Explain your answer.

Then Presidents may become more sincere

  • As they already know during their second period that they can't elect themselves again
  • They try to create inconvenience in country growth.
  • They may get involve in corruption

Answer:

The Twenty-second Amendment (Amendment XXII) to the United States Constitution limits the number of times a person is eligible for election to the office of President of the United States to two, and sets additional eligibility conditions for presidents who succeed to the unexpired terms of their predecessors

The amendment prohibits anyone who has been elected president twice from being elected again

When term limits are found in presidential and semi-presidential systems they act as a method of curbing the potential for monopoly, where a leader effectively becomes "president for life". This is intended to protect a republic from becoming a de facto dictatorship.
