24. I voted yes, but that's the problem
I'd vote for him because he was the nominee.

But what if he turned 75 and was running for his fifth term? Np Democratic candidate would challenge him in the primaries because he'd be a sitting four term incumbant. So I'd vote for him again because he was the nominee.

What about when he's 87 and running for his seventh consecutive term? Since no one would challenge him in the primaries, I'd vote for him as the nominee.

That's why I like the 22nd Amendment. We may miss a good third or fourth term once in a while, but we also miss the President for Life stuff that other countries suffer through.
