In addition, when the people choose as constituent power or in an amendment to the constitution to adopt a presidential system, they also have the authority to decide the presidential power and the term of office of the president. The constitutional architecture establishing term limits and the prohibition of re-election is the expression of a people’s decision, in the exercise of its self-determination, to prevent a republican monarch. Presidential term limits are therefore a self-imposed restriction on the power of the people to choose a representative at their will with the aim of maintaining a democratic system.
