Some prefer to die on the throne, while others will like to amend the constitution to prolong their stay in office.

Becaue they wanted a better life where they knew they could get one. Also because they probably wanted to be free to make their own decisions and didnt want to be under strict rules.

This is really easy. Machievelli said the ends will justify the means and rulers should basically do anything to stay in power, ANYTHING.If you've read "The Prince," by Machievelli, you would understand this idea. Each of the people you have listed were pretty ruthless in their desire to stay on top. Just provide examples of this. Google each of their names to get a breif history of thier years as rulers. You will find plenty to support your claim. If you can't read the prince, get some sparks notes and find a few of his really good quotes.

The two term limitation was added as an amendment to the constitution after the death of FDR for a few reasons. First, because of the age requirements for president - more than two terms in office would make them very elderly. Secondly, it was put into place to limit the power of one president which could lead to an imbalance of power.  If a president could run continuously, you could end up with a dictator on your hands.  As it is, no one president can be in office for more than 8 years in a row - limiting how much power he can wield. That is also the reason Congress is termed differently from the president - so that he can not control them any more than they can control him. It is all a balance of power.  Just an interesting side note, when we have a Dem as a president, congress is usually Rep in majority and vise versa when we have a Rep. pres.  Hope that helps you understand better. Happy Holidays.

The primary purpose of the Constitution is to limit, or slow, the power of government to intrude upon the citizens as a whole. It is to protect the minority from the majority and visa versa as far as who is in office. The will of the majority of the people will always occur if it is consistent and holds true for a long time. The political representation will have to conform to the will of the people if they want to keep their jobs. \n\nThe process of proposing a bill, reviewing, debating, revising, going through two houses, and then the executive branch and then passing into law is suppose to be long.... but unfortunately politicians trample all over this by doing shot gun bills with more slips to it than line of dancing girls... but that's another story...

but you'd run out of candidates very quickly. There are usually only 3-5 former prezes alive at a time, and often 2-3 of those are too old/ill to serve.

Because he is firm one with self determination who knows what to do for his people one who knows how to protect his people and one who knows how to find eployment opportuinities for his people. If I would be American I would suggest the constitution to be changed so that he can continue to be the prsident for the third time.

One HUGE example of this is the fact that the Constitution has been amended so many times, and also that the legislative branch is continually passing new laws to accomodate modern values and the judicial branch is constantly deciding on the constitutionality of ideals that probably didn't even exist a hundred years ago (such as abortion or civil rights laws). The  government changes as the country changes.

I do think some people have a point here. Politicians may start out with the best intentions and I think once they are bedded-in, they are called into some sort of secret government society underground as such and told what the "REAL" agenda is and either promised riches to carry them out or told that they will have their nuts chopped off if they don't.

In the tradition of our nation's founders, we may have to offer up our lives to bring the tyranny machine down and secure freedom for the people.

His resignation, end of his term, incapacity to hold office, or death, whichever comes first. On the other hand Don and Dick might decide they had enough fun and resign.

They talk a good speech until they get in and then things start to change.They are going to do what ever they want no matter what is said. Some don't even have a conscience.
