Hello Aaron,

We never needed to have an amendment to limit the number of terms
a president could serve consecutively.  And we still do not need such
an amendment today.  No other state needs to have such a limitation
on its chief executive, as voters (we the people) should always have
the final say on the matter.

Denying people the right to choose who they want to serve is
antidemocratic.  Why limit their choices by imposing limitations
on who they can vote for?  Makes no sense.

Louisiana used to limit governors to serve a single term.
Virginia still limits governors to serve a single term.
A governor can serve a term, leave, then get elected to
another term.  But not consecutively.  This limitation
is antidemocratic.

Washington state has no such limitation.  The incumbent
govenor has just been elected to serve a third consecutive
term.  The people there really do love their governor.

FDR was elected to serve four consecutive terms.  He would
have continued to serve for many more terms had he not died
so suddenly and unexpectedly ...

>The governor of NY isn't in touch with reality.

He has gone on record as saying folks in NY should not get married
because the judge who marries them may have been appointed by Trump.
Much better for couples to live in sin (Cuomo is Catholic).

>He gave the green light of illegals to get drivers licenses,

With mandatory insurance, a good move.

>he wants to legalize marijuana,

Makes sense.  End the charade.  Why have law enforcement
chase down non-violent offenders?  Much better to legalize
marijuana so it can be controlled (bought and sold) like
cigarettes on the open market.  That way, the state gets
additional revenue to spend on projects.  And law enforcement
has more funds to chase down real criminals - those who are
violent and should be removed from society.

>and he wants to enact a bill that will require mandatory recounts in close
> elections.

And with the caveat the secretary of state recuse himself
from counting the ballots if he is a candidate.

Not all states have mandatory recounts.  Kentucky has no such
law, but recounts can be done if a candidate requests (under certain
conditions).

Point is, mandatory recounts should be non-partisan, with
no candidate being favored based on party affiliation.

>He's got no to-do list for legitimate NYers.

So does every state.

The composition of the legislature in NY is split pretty evenly,
not being heavily one way or the other.  As a result, the governor
has to work with both parties in order to get things done.

In Louisiana, the governor is a Democrat.  Republicans control
a super majority in the Senate (2/3rds), and are two votes shy of
having a super majority in the House.  As such, Republicans can
get pretty much everything they want, even with a Democratic
governor - who just won re-election to a second consecutive term.
