It's for a temp job anyway.
That's why dictators grin at US presidents. They just wait them out...

Xi will die of old age in that conglomeration of mudbrick villages they call China.
He'll be drooling like a pope before they scoot him to the ditch.
Meanwhile we'll have 7 more presidents...

True. Did you know that back in the 1870s and early 1880s, the government was seriously considering making the presidency a one time 7 year term? That is still temporary, but at least there would be a sense of stability. 4 year terms feels like we work in a workplace with a high turnover rate among the management.
