Two-years term

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Let say Republicans, who were primarily responsible for a two eight-year term limits (22nd Amendment), actually did something much more radical: an establishment of a two-year term (something now unthinkable outside of course NH and VT) for President. No person shall be eligible to serve more than three such terms (maximum 6 years, but V.P., who succeeded and served less than a year can be reelected twice).

Amendment went into effect with 1952 election. Truman now goes down with history as lat four-years President.

There are my guess:

Frightening idea...

Congratulation for your list.

Frightening idea...

Congratulation for your list.

Yeah, the president would probably spend half the time in office campaigning for re-election!

Thank you

Yeah, the president would probably spend half the time in office campaigning for re-election!

Oh yes, maybe even his entire term

I didn't happen exactly for that reason. Nobody would want to becone president because it would become incessent campaigning. As a result, only those people who were desperate for the office, or did not mind campaigning 24-7 would run. I could see the Speaker of the House remaining president just because of that.
