Why would anyone think that someone would ever want to be the POTUS for more than 8 years? It has got to be a crappy job with life threatening pressure. Just look at the pictures of Presidents before and after two terms.
I truly believe that at the end of the second term, the president breathes a sigh of relief that his party can't pressure him to run again.
Since this is a forum on the Internets Tubes, the argument can't be considered legitimate unless there is a quote from some old dead guy.
