Show PRESIDENTIAL POINTERS The address of the president is simply "The President of the United States." In the first congress con-gress there was debate over a title and It was proposed by several sev-eral members that he be addressed ad-dressed as "his excellency" and by others as "his highness," but a committee reported that It Is not proper to annex any style or letter other than that expressed In the Constitution. In the Constitutional convention conven-tion the first report fixed the term of office at seven years without eligibility to re-election. In debate various periods from "good behavior" to 20 yeara we've favored. The limit to four years was finally adopted la grand committee and ratified by the Constitution. |
