With the fixed and staggered terms in Congress, Americans get to vote every 2 years in a national poll. So when a president is unpopular, the electorate can put the other lot in and make life hard. As they did last year. Fixed terms are better. Well, we only had to put up with 11 years of Thatcher, so it must be better…

They are stuck with a president for a fixed term even if he is Bush (unless he gets shot/impeached). As for the rest of it I can't help thinking it is another one of the things that puts people in general off politics. If they just shut up and got on with the job they are paid to do we might have a little more respect for them. Re: why can’t we have fixed terms – because the States do.
