Phnom Penh (FN), Mar. 28 – Term limits, a legal restriction on the number of terms a leader can serve in their office, prevent one person from holding power too long, ensuring fresh leadership and regular democratic turnover.

Some leaders remove or extend term limits to stay in power. China’s Xi Jinping abolished limits in 2018, while Russia’s Vladimir Putin altered Russia’s constitution in 2020, resetting his term count and allowing him to stay in office until 2036.

Putin has ruled for 25 years, making him one of the longest-serving leaders. In contrast, the US enforces a strict two-term limit, though some Trump allies advocate for a third term.
