Former President Bill Clinton has been floating the idea of amending the constitution to allow a former two-term president to run again. He says it would not benefit him, but some future president. Of course, whether or not it would benefit him depends on what the definition of "is" is, oops, I mean what the definition of "benefit" is. If benefit means a TV benefit, or a luncheon benefit, or a health plan benefit, then yes, it may not benefit him. Don't you miss the nostalgic, good old days of presidential word games.
Maybe a better amendment would be to limit the presidency on a per couple basis: the combined terms of a husband and wife can not exceed two terms in total.
