What is Presidential Term Limits about?

This chapter introduces major research questions and themes in the politics of presidential term limits. The institution of term limits can be understood as the dependent variable, as the explanatory variable, as a focal point, and as an indicator—a tripwire. Because of a very “tight” relationship between democracy and term limits, it is more fruitful to approach the study of presidential term limits by carefully accounting for the time period, place and context, the power and preferences of political actors—as in the politics of presidential term limits. The chapter sketches some of the constitutional choices affecting presidential term limits, outlines the standard argument for and against, considers some of the issues involved in the decision to introduce, abolish, or amend term limits. It also points to some of the likely consequences of presidential term limits, distinguishing between direct and informational effects thereof.
