    I propose repealing the law of gravity but only in a 20sq meter space in Florida so we can launch rockets cheaper.

    If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

        Based on the election last fall I think this would be a very popular change.

        This type of change usually doesn't apply to those currently in office, but not this one.

        Why the limit after 2 consecutive terms? To stop Mr. Obama from getting another chance, well done.

          I am very happy to limit Trump to two terms.

            https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/02/20/trump-third-term-king-unconstitutional/

            Trump again raises idea of running for an unconstitutional third term

            The suggestion followed a stretch of days in which Trump referred to himself as a king and quoted a dictator in suggesting that he was immune from following laws

              As a psychological exercise it would be quite interesting to see how many people would support this.

              As a follow-up experiment, I'd suggest a second amendment whereby the formal term for addressing any President sitting for a third term was changed from 'Mr. President' to 'Your Highness', just to see how many people would buy into that one.

                    Yea, two and done works or therwise you get us an el presidente-for-life and there is nothing good about that. Also, I look at Trump as a placeholder for Vance. It would be nice to have an intelligent person for a change. It's been a long, long time.

                            This. Also true of pretty much any politician office.

                              Not so. There are a lot of very, very smart people in government. Our new Congressman, Greg Landsman, is very intelligent. Very moderate as well. While he was not who I voted for, he's doing a good job. I heard an interview with him yesterday. He's damn near a blue dog.

                                It's alright, people. @Jolly only said that because of Trump.
