> However, putting restrictions on newbies wanting to run for the presidency is completely consistent with democratic ideals. It doesn't say "You can never do this," it just says "You can't do this for a while." Barring re-election of a president past that one chance is a Never Again proposition. And therefore, undemocratic.
Oops. Now I see what you mean. Anyway I understood the amendment like "you can't do this for a while", or more precisely, like "after two consecutive terms it's time to time to stand down for at least one term". If someone proves that indeed this amendment is a "never again" clause, then we should possibly try to amend the amendment.
