I think that is a good idea. That way the president wouldn't have to pander and waste so much time lining up his re-election (or lack thereof).

Who Is Senator John Kerry? It's Time to Take a Closer Look



"We in Iowa are marking the beginning of the end of the Bush presidency. That's what this is about." Thus declared John Kerry as he celebrated his come-from-behind victory in Monday's Iowa caucuses. Time will tell if John Kerry is any real threat to the Bush presidency, but his decisive win did put an end to the presidential hopes of Rep. Dick Gephardt and threw into question the viability of former Vermont governor Howard Dean as a national candidate.



As so often in the past, the Iowa caucuses proved most of the pundits wrong. Kerry's win grants him instant momentum as the race for the Democratic presidential nomination heads for next week's New Hampshire primary. Iowa Democrats gave Kerry an almost stunning margin of victory, granting him 38% of the delegates to the state party's convention. The win reinvigorated Kerry's lackluster campaign and ensures that he will be treated as a front runner headed into next week's primary. It doesn't hurt that New Hampshire borders Massachusetts--Kerry's home and political base.



Most Americans know very little about John Kerry, but that is about to change as media attention will subject the candidate to an entirely new level of scrutiny. Pressure from the media--and pointed attacks by other candidates--will test Kerry's mettle and fortitude.

For Presidents one 5-year term would be ideal -- no running for re-election...it's time for presidents to focus on solving the country's problems NOT on getting elected again.
