Description

World Leaders: A world leader is someone who is the leader of a country. List: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_heads_of_state_and_government

Term Limits: Term limits are the restrictions that are placed on how long a particular person can serve in a political office. Term limits can be expressed in the number of terms in office or years of service, and they can also specify whether a person may serve in the same office once term limits have been reached and the individual has laid out of an election cycle. The most well-known term limit that has been defined by the United States constitution is for the office of the presidency as spelled out in the 22nd amendment:

"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once." (https://www.thebalancecareers.com/term-limits-1669489#:~:text=Term%20limits%20are%20the%20restrictions,serve%20in%20a%20political%20office.)

Pro: The majority or all of "World Leaders" should have term limits.
Con: The majority or all of "World Leaders" should not have term limits.

I think every political leader should have term limits. We have too many career politicians. Politicians shouldn't get paid in anything except room, board, and other living expenses, and any revenue they generate from speeches gets paid to the state.

I'll vote on this when you're done, if you remind me.
