Absolute power corrupts absolutely

In the US, no person can hold the office of president for more than two terms. So there is no chance to hold the highest powerful position for a long time or lifetime as absolute power may corrupt a person absolutely. Article 50 (2) of Bangladesh constitution also contains the same provision: “No person shall hold office as President for more than two terms, whether or not the terms are consecutive.” It's a good provision but the thing is, in Bangladesh, the position of the president is largely ornamental, prime minister holds the real power. There is no bar in the constitution to hold the office as PM. We think there should be also a provision fixing the term of the office of the PM like the one for the president. If we can do this, our democracy will be stronger than now.
