as a small gripe with the comparison, Zelensky holds power by declaration of martial law suspending elections (and ejection/assassination/incarceration of opposition.)

a slightly bigger gripe is that the two term limit was not in the constitution (was an unspoken rule) until about 1950 with the 22nd amendment... passed because FDR held on for FOUR terms of being voted in. https://constitutioncenter.org/blog/fdrs-third-term-decision-and-the-22nd-amendment

otherwise, yeah, I'd prefer the existing term limit remain at 2. and set term limits for Congress etc while at it.

Franklin D. Roosevelt served four terms as President of the United States, being elected in 1932, 1936, 1940, and 1944. He is the longest-serving U.S. president and the only one to have served more than two terms. His unprecedented four terms led to the ratification of the 22nd Amendment in 1951, which now limits presidents to two elected terms.
