re: #60 Feline Fearless Leader

Well, we didn’t institute Presidential term limits for another 150+ years. We just benefited from Washington establishing a 2-term tradition that held up for that period.

The fact we instituted it after 150 years is an even stronger rejoinder to Jefferson, really. And it happened after the first time anyone did violate the unwritten rule on term limits.

Jefferson was wrong about a lot of stuff. All of the founders were. It’s not their fault, but the scientific revolution had just barely gotten started, ideas of human nature were still innately moralistic, etc. etc.
