autumnual contemplation

10.13.2012

i was thinking...4 years is not an optimal length for a Presidential term. there's so many issues to deal with these days: war, debt, terrorism, unemployment, etc. it would be impossible to even make a dent in making progress on all fronts in 4 years. and since Presidents can only serve two terms, that gives the Commander-In-Chief eight years to completely fix whatever big mess that they come into office facing as a result of the previous administration. that's unfeasible. it's impossible. so i think the terms should last 7 years. in 7 years, the President should make noticeable headway in dealing with the crises. if so, they would likely be re-elected and i feel as though 14 years is time enough to either succeed in fixing the Nation, or be an obvious failure (which is an unlikely scenario due to the checks and balances created by the [longer] 1st term success.
