I think limiting presidential terms is pretty American, I can't see why its undemocratic to stand for longer as long as there are still elections, free press, right to protest etc.

In the US, FDR stood 4 terms, and he was hardly the end of democracy.

Brazil also has limits. You can only be president for 2 years in a row.

Rather, 2 terms (8 years).

Whoops, yes I meant 2 terms.
