| Message | Mr. Speaker, We will not support this. We have no defined terms for the executive branch like we do for the Presidium. A cabinet could stay in power for 20 years and it would be considered to be 1 term. Likewise, a cabinet could only stay in power for 6 months, and 2 cabinets after it could also only stay in power for 6 months each, and that would be considered to be 3 terms. If a majority of the Presidium chooses to elect the same President for more than 3 consecutive terms, they should be allowed to do that. We will not support a mere resolution being binding on how the Presidium is allowed to act in the future. The bill is pointless anyway. With the same majority that is required to pass this, the majority in a future Presidium can simply repeal it. -- George Huddleson, Opposition Spokesman on Justice |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, This seems unnecessary. While I understand the need for new blood, sometimes allowing a party member to gain credibility and experience in a post is beneficial. For example, the SLP have only had a change of candidates once. ~ Rowan Argall SLP Leader |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Apart from being unnecessary, it's silly to believe that the resolution would work. A leader who is popular enough to get re-elected 3 times would probably be able to repeal this bill. -- George Huddleson, Opposition Spokesman on Justice |
