That's a good point. Some people even say that our current four-year presidential terms are too short, so the president doesn't get anything done because he's preparing for the next election. I think four years is a good balance between too long and too short.
The term length and pay is not important! As things stand now
"ONLY A DEM OR REP" will be able to be in the White House! That's the
whole point of this post!

Is this the way US Politics should be?(Lesser of two evils)
Do you only want to have 2 choices of governing bodies?
Do you think only the Dems&Reps have good political vision?
If you wanted to, do you think you could vote them out?
Have they been doing a good job?
Do you trust them sending your money?
