Term limits in a democracy as with the limiting the term of the President of the USA is anti-democratic. It could be third term Obama instead of first term Trump at the moment. The US electors were denied that option.
Michelle is probably still controlling things even if she is "out of politics" for a few months. Interesting internal things that could be going on atm.

Obviously you need a bit of a history lesson & I mean that in a helpful way.
George Washington the first President of the US served only 2 terms when he was so revered he could have served many more. Why?
Because the US had just separated from England & the contemporary way of ruling at that time in England & much of Europe was monarchy's which at that time were all powerful & anything but democratic.
He wanted to return power to the people in the new Republic & so by setting this precedent of limited terms, would avoid the possibility of the establishment of an undemocratic monarchy in the US.
If you consider for a moment the situation in Russia & China at the moment where both current leaders have changed their constitutions to allow themselves to become lifelong leaders with few checks on their power, which is dangerous & anything but democratic.
Hope this helps.
