Abstract:
|
More than halfway into President George W. Bush’s second term, history appears to be repeating itself – second terms are far more problematic than first terms. This paper explores the dynamics of the term limits question from a constitutional and historical perspective, focusing on the leadership and clerkship roles the president performs in the constitutional system, constrained by the dynamics of political time. The paper examines the classic arguments for and against term limits, comparing Hamilton’s focus on stability to Jefferson’s concern for tyranny. It then surveys the scholarship on second term problems, highlighting arguments concerning reelection hubris, administration fatigue, and leadership failure to tease out the effects of term limits from the more general problem of second terms. The paper concludes with an analysis of second term and term limit problems from a political time perspective, suggesting that presidents are more constrained by the dynamics of regime cycles than they are by term limits. |
