Six Year Term President?

Should there be a six year, single term president? I think the answer to that is no. I have a saying, or at least someone did, and it goes something like this. "Why fix what's not broken?".

Our current system of election has been working since the Constitution was made, and while I know things change, this system has been working far too long to change now. I think the current 4 year terms work fine. The idea of having to eventually re-campaign is a little bit of a motivator for a President to do well for his whole presidency, instead of having a lot of time to sort of coast for the first year or two.

Another reason I say no to this is that six years is a pretty long time. I mean, imagine if we had a President who was terrible, but did not do anything worth impeachment. We would be stuck for six years. That's an awful long time compared to four years. It's two extra year, and while that doesn't sound too bad, for some people, four years is already too much. The other problem with this idea, is that there's no chance for re-election because it's a single term. The President couldn't come back after six years. What if he was good in this case? He can't come back now. He's served his single term. In our current system, a President can serve for eight years, and he gets to see if we want him back in or not after his first four. Seems like a pretty fair deal to me.

So, to summarize, I am not for the idea of a six year, single term president. Our current system has worked for a couple centuries now. Why fix what's not broken?
