His two-term limit isn’t REALLY carved in stone, is it?

It was because Dems abused the two-term tradition.

They brought it in, means we can take it out right? I mean who else is going to stand up to Chairman Xi?

Well, there is a reason why this stuff was done like that back then. People were expected to be more honorable and step down after they have done their jobs properly. They didn't need thousands written rules on top of thousands of written rules. President Washington gave himself a limit and warned the country of globalism and for the most part, people followed his example. These were observed rules.

Dems don't care for honor or any rules that could limit them. This is why the filibuster thing will backfire on them.

Trump is doing a better job than recent presidents, but everyone should have term limits.
