[[WP:BB|Go for it, dy to the national president. The article mentions Mexico, but there must be others. I'll check when I get the time... Ellsworth 22:34, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

I might suggest making a seperate article, maybe called "Term limits in the United States", where all info about US term limits could go. Green caterpillar 01:56, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

This article states that any president that serves has a two year serving term and can only serve three terms in office.

WHY: So that way other presidents have a chance to show what they have to offer and who knows it might even be beter for the communitee

{{helpme}} For research, I need to find arguments for and against U.S. Congressional term limits. Would someone please help me out on this one? But please, don't post it here; click here to post it. Please and thank you! BlueCaper (talk) 20:25, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Notable people affected by relaxed term limits

Why is Franklin D. Roosevelt on this list? He'd been dead for six years when the Twenty-second Amendment came in. LukeSurl ^{t c} 14:51, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

I've removed him. LukeSurl ^{t c} 15:06, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

somehow Hugo Chávez was not in this list, so I added him Samuel ^c 9:18, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

People who would have run afoul of modern term limits

Should FDR be on this list? It seems he was previously removed from the above; maybe that was before this section was introduced? Sferencik (talk) 20:13, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

There should be several further additions for France - both Charles de Gaulle and Jacques Chirac served longer than 10 years (modern limit is 2 terms of 5 years). I suspect many others exist for other countries too. SECProto (talk) 23:11, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

the "Impact" section

The "Impact" section is full of anti-term limit references, not a balanced perspective of the impact of term limits. All of those references are entirely United States specific. Indeed this entire section was just copied and pasted from Term_limits_in_the_United_States. It should be removed. FrankSamuelson (talk) 13:06, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Qualifying that a bit: the section's intro refers solely to legislative term limits, which is as you described, all the arguments against them. Then the "Violation of term limits" subsection talks about executive officers like presidents trying to violate term limits (with a link to Continuísmo which is just focused on Latin America)). Honestly, the whole section feels like it was stitched together from different places, which isn't necessarily bad but was done poorly in this case.

I think that for the reasons you described, we can excise that introduction to the section. 104.175.74.27 (talk) 04:25, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Notable examples

The notable examples section is only tangentially relevant to the article and it consists of indiscriminate examples. It's had unaddressed tags regarding these issues for four years, and I suggest that it be moved or deleted. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 21:00, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

I've removed the section and incorporated the most important examples into the article. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 05:15, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
