    Wow, I'm sensing a push to keep it general.  That's cool, we're good to go...thanks guys.

    I think the discussion is more relevant if we keep it general.

    i think we can ask a general more theoretical question concerning whether there SHOULD be term limits and that asking whether they should be revoked indicates a bias.  just because there are term limits in place does not mean that there should be.  i'm fine with asking -

    Should there be term limits for elected officials?

    Let the Yes, for Congress, No for Presidency come out in the blogs ...

    I agree with Adam... first, there's already a term limit so if the question is whether it should be revoked, that's what it should read.

    Also, i think congressional elections are more relevant right now.

    open it up to term limits generally.

    I think the debate is more interesting about the presidency.  It's not necessarily a hot topic, so I felt it might be more inviting to keep it to the presidency. 

    Again, I'm okay with keeping it general if you guys feel it's still interesting.

    We can go:

    Should the be term limits? I'm fine with that.  I just thought bloggers would rather blog about the Presidency.  Anyone else?

    Thanks...

    I really haven't heard anyone calling for getting rid of the 22nd Amendment in quite a while, maybe just term limits in general would be a better question.

    This seems like a relevant issue.  Maybe it would be better to discuss term limits in general?

    I'm fine with this, though I don't see the need for Presidency to be capitalized.
