We don't have term limits either. Hard to say. I think only the USA and Russia have term limits, and Xyulo - wanted by criminal international court in The Hague has found a way around the Russian ones.Chancellor 1982 - 1998 ... Germany doesn't have term limits. Good or bad idea?
Yes I was mostly setting that against the American example ... Helmut Kohl while in office dealt with three different US presidents; Anglea Merkel, who's likely to become another four-term chancellor, may even make it to four --for people of roughly my age, it was just the endlessness of those 16 years of Kohl's chancellorship ...We don't have term limits either.

We had over 10 years of Jean Chrétien, and that was long, especially considering that he was not the statesman that Kohl was.it was just the endlessness of those 16 years of Kohl's chancellorship .

But we human females have to be the 'marked' gender.
The answer, as I'm sure you know, is that to be buried there requires a resolution of the Assembly.And why women are they not so much numerous at the Pantheon ?
Yes, so, like our actual Assembly is composed of more than 40% of women, I hope that much more than 5 women will be buried there !The answer, as I'm sure you know, is that to be buried there requires a resolution of the Assembly.
