You're serious, aren't you? The whole point of the Constitution and a republic is to put limits on pure democracy.

Just because a majority of people wants something does not make it a good idea by any stretch of the imagination, including a President for Life, and if you honestly think some incumbent with no term limits couldn't pull that off, you overestimate the public.

The fact that Clinton got a second term, and probably would have pulled off a third, should set off warning bells. Liberals would probably say the same thing about Reagan.

I like the idea of hanging as many restrictions on government as humanly possible. If I could, I would pass a constitutional amendment requiring all legislators to stand on one foot during sessions, and make air-conditioning illegal in Washington DC. There is a school of thought that says that the era of big government really started when air conditioning hit the District of Columbia big time.
