| Description | Presidents should be allowed to serve more than two terms in office, Bill Clinton said Tuesday, adding that such a change wouldn't apply to him.
"People are living longer, people are developing greater capacities, so I've always thought that should be the rule, not to affect me or anyone that's served, but going forward," Clinton said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
He specifically mentioned former President Reagan and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) as examples of politicians who have had fruitful careers into the later parts of their lives.
Such a change would require a constitutional amendment. Clinton did note there should be at least a four-year break between a president's first two terms and any attempt to serve a third. |
