I don't think it would be a bad idea. Many democracies have unlimited terms. If the voters want the same man again & again is it not undemocratic to not let them vote for him?
I see why it is there, to stop a camouflaged dictatorship, but Ireland, the UK and many others have never had this bar on terms & as far as I know no European country has had a dictator since democracy was introduced to that nation & STAYED a democracy. That would happen only in corrupt governments and corrupt voting & the only major power to have it's voting questioned to a large degree was...well America. It serves a purpose in fragile democracies & corrupt administrations but surely America is neither, is it?
