Since 1951, US presidents have been restricted to two terms in office, a fairly recent innovation, but practiced universally on an informal basis before the election of FDR.
I was reading an article about Putin's successor, and it mentioned the Russian constitution prohibits more than two consecutive terms, but someone can be re-elected for further non-consecutive terms (e.g. if Ronald Reagan served as president from 1981-1989, then again from 1993-1997).
What do you think about presidential term limits? No more than two terms? Two consecutive terms? Or abolish term limits altogether?
