I think four years IS an evaluation period, and then if we like them at their review, we elect them again.

This hasn't worked for Italy - look at the surprisingly high turnover there between the end of WWII and whenever they overturned the "vote of no confidence" rule for the highest office (sometime in the 1990s somewhere). It tends to results in a political revolving door which, while many people might think it a good idea, results in a permanent lame duck government. At some point you might as well revert to anarchy.

Term limits is a bit like the flat tax - a great-sounding idea until you look into the nuts-and-bolts of how it would work and what the result would be.​
