[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1679346, member: 24816"] My thoughts are that if the office of president were to be much longer terms and especially up to 50 year terms, think we as a country would not be enjoying the democracy that we have. The frequent and peaceful transitions of power are vital to maintaining the status of being that influence on the world stage. I don’t think the concept of longer presidential terms would be a good thing for the country. As for term limits on the Supreme Court then that is a bit different as that branch of government works differently. I think more and more as time goes forward and our political parties are moving farther away from center then the role of the court may become more pivotal as far as what is upheld or not. With the current lifetime appointments it does give reason to question the length of tenure of the judges with so much at stake. Even with age being an arbitrary number in a lot of situations, and experience in that role being important. [/QUOTE]
