True. So why not extend the presidency period to say 8 years. And then halfway let voters decide whether or not they want an election. That way if the president is doing good he can carry out a full 8 years. If not the voters will decide to have an election, and then may or may not remove him from office depending on who wins. But the campaigning won't be able to start until less than a year before the say 4 year mark because they won't know for sure if there's gonna be an election or not. This is good because then as a nation we can spend more time working towards solutions then trying to remove the president from office and put up the next guy. Campaigning as it is today is a waste of time and money. It normally goes, first 2 years is spent trying to block the president from doing anything productive, last two years is spent campaigning and getting ready for the next election. This is extremely inefficient and is why we can never get anything done that is meaningful, it's all politics. People don't actually care about working towards a solution, they care about painting the current administration in a light that helps them get put to power. Whether it's the media or politicians. So one suggestion is 8 year terms with 4 year optional election if voters deem it necessary. By approval of the election would not take place until less than a year before the election, making it so we don't waste time on campaigning and discourages running for office mid term unless the current president is really screwing up. This allows the president to focus on actual goals and progress instead of re election, but he also must keep in mind that he can't do whatever he wants because there is the possibility of removing him from office mid ter. But before the election midterm takes place, a panel of non partisan reviewers must review everything the president has done so far and plans to do and presents it to public, if the public wishes to vote for another election. Then the public can decide if it is really necessary to try and remove the president from power based on non partisan, non biased facts.
This is just one option of how to reform the term system. Any other ideas?
