At the founding of America in its Revolutionary Period, the founders established a new form of government without a king and with limits on the presidential leader's tenure for one simple reason: kings tend to abuse their power, and the temptation to do the same is even greater for a president who may remain in office for a lifetime. The founders' fundamental aim was to prevent absolute control of society by an all-powerful central authority -- of whatever kind.
