second term — the 22nd Amendment saw to that. Lameness relates to
the strength and quality of the person. If a president becomes a lame
duck, it is not because of any inhibitions imposed by a single term. An
unlimited number of terms would not sustain such a person. On the
other hand, a six-year President who rises to his responsibilities will
have sufficient time to organize an effective and successful
administration.”
