It was a "tradition" to limit oneself to two terms (following the example of George Washington), but that wasn't the law (yet).

In Bolivia, the constitution limits a president to two consecutive terms. Evo Morales's current and former terms were unconstitutional.

He looks like a Democratic Socialist president-for-life.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
