4 or 5 is Ok. Lifetime is not.. our congress and senate should be overhauled as to term limits. They sit there with a 6% approval rating and just keep it rolling.
I agree...there should definitely be a cap on campaign spending. And these super PACS shielding donors and the ridiculous amount of money that they generate is beyond questionable. I think if you take multiple terms off of the table, term length becomes far less of a problem.
