How much of the apparent nimcompoopery of presidents is actually a result of their choices being constrained while in office?
If some fraction of the problem is a result of the desire to be re-elected, should we be pushing for only letting them have one term?
Is voting at all some variant of the dust-speck problem?
You want to free up your presidents from the corrupting influence of democracy?
Maybe. If I were being serious about this, I'd look at whether Presidents were significantly different in their second terms compared to their first, and whether the difference (if any) seemed generally an improvement or a deterioration. I'd also look at how term limits play out generally.
