What if we just made the limit 1 term? Then no presidents would be doing actions purely to get reelected?
It's helpful not totally replace the executive branch every four years if you don't have to
Well, they still represent their party, so their actions could still affect an election. An embarrassing lame duck session would screw the next party nominee.
Thomas is still there because taking Bribes and Gifts from Billionaires who have Cases before you is FINE! The REAL Corruption is Judge MERCHAN'S DAUGHTER who DONATED some Money once to DEMOCRATS!
Would be so much worse... Think about any type of project or policy that takes more than 4 years to complete (and longer to see tangible benefits from).
It's already bad enough having a GOP president come in every 8 years to undo most of the good things their Democratic predecessor accomplished (with Reagan removing Carter's solar panels from the White House roof being the archetype).
Imagine having that pendulum swing every 4 years. Literally nothing that takes longer than 4 years would ever get done.
Mexico does that! It doesn't look super common but it's a thing.
Mexico is in a very different situation regarding the size and complexity of their administrative state. They're also facing an entirely different type of corruption and political violence than we have up here...
Yeah! Every place I saw that did it seemed quite different from the US. I just thought it was neat that there are places trying this.
