Isn't the issue that they are discussing getting rid of term limits altogether? As opposed to setting a higher term limit? If so, how is it a fair comparison to Germany or Japan? I'm sure we'd have even more outrage if any number of countries decided to get rid of term limits altogether. I could be misunderstanding you though.

Germany doesn't have term limits for the Chancellor either. It isn't a huge problem in practice since the role doesn't have quite that much power and shifting majorities in parliament tend to prevent constant re-election of the same person.
