In almost all the presidential or semi-presidential systems under examination, the constitution sets limits on the President’s re-election: either an absolute ban (Colombia, Republic of Korea, Mexico), or a maximum number of two terms (Algeria, Turkey, USA), or of two consecutive terms (Brazil – two times four years, France – two times five years, Kazakhstan – two times five years and Russia – two times six years). The only exceptions to the limitation in Europe are Azerbaijan, Belarus and Cyprus, and in Latin America possibly Bolivia, Costa Rica and Venezuela.
