Hey guys I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future. Thx for reading.

[@Awakeningspirit20]

@@cnzhk5925 It's illegal now to run for a third term but it wasn't before in history. The 22nd Amendment standardized the limit for a presidency to two terms max. The only one in history to last more than two terms (FOUR!) was FDR and with that time he was able to pull off the New Deal while also fighting a major World War! So maybe there shouldn't be a requirement, but the limitation likely aims to reduce the risk of the country relying solely on that one leader, no matter how effective. When one person is allowed to stay in and build up power and trust, it increases the risk of a cult of personality or dictatorship, or just the populace no longer voting or participating in democracy.
