Term-limits were put into place for US Presidents because of FDR.
Have we reached the era when they should be abolished? It is
unfortunate that Bill Clinton could not run against GW Bush
instead of Kerry, because he is probably the only candidate who
could have beaten him.

Should term-limits be lifted from the US Presidency?


No

If not, should a former 2-term President be allowed to run again
if he takes a 4 year break?


Yes, that sounds fair. In NYC, the Mayor is only allowed to serve two
*consecutive* terms. After a leave from office, he is free to run
again.

Should there be term limits for US Senators and Reps?


Absolutely. 2 consecutive terms each.
