Reply #4: I think the point is to blunt the power of incumbency. [View All]

Yes, it would be nice to have the option to re-elect good presidents for more terms.

But that is outweighed by the likelihood that mediocre or awful presidents get re-elected because of the power of incumbency. So, no, it's not to limit the good presidents, it's to limit the bad ones.

And I also think there might be a bit of "after two terms in power, even the best people get corrupted."
