The Confederate constitution is said to have one reasonable feature concerning the term limit of Confederate presidents. The term of any Confederate president was six years with no chance for a reelection. This idea does have merit. Unlike today, where US presidents have to devote time & money on campaigning for a second term, the Confederate president has no such obligation. One flaw of the current two term limit in the US Constitution is this. On the pretext of of making political speeches around the country and explaining current and future policies, a president uses tax payer dollars to promote themselves and their future policies if reelected.
