There have never any governments in which only one person can serve. One person cannot possibly run a whole government by him/herself. During the 244-year period of the Roman monarchy the government was headed by a king who had government officials who served as his subordinates. During the 482-year period of the Roman republic the consuls were the two annually elected heads of the republic and there were four other types of elected officers of state, who also served in the government (the censors, the praetors, the aediles and the quaestors). During the 503-year period of rule by emperors the emperors were absolute rulers and appointed the officials who served in their governemnts
The ancient Roman government elected two consuls every year. They elected two people to serve in the lead position as a separation of power.
That was something none of them ever thought about or thought could happen. Their idea was a person would serve their country for a short time and then go home to their business or farm. I think they would be upset to see what has happened. The framers saw government as a means to serve the common good not to serve a individuals good.
Representative Government
None more than this great nation needs. And always remember the government is here to serve the people, not the people here to serve the government. And like President Ronald Reagan said "The most feared words are I'm from the government and I'm here to help you".
The president can serve up to eight years, which is two terms. A term is four years. A limit has been set, so our government will not become a dictatorship.
