I think, as a observer, one of the best character traits of American culture is the willingness to topple your leaders. We don't often suffer 16 years of a Prime Minister but did 14 of Thatcher and 12 of Blair. Whereas becoming a Two Term President is still a big deal.

Unfortunately employment market culture of really far more rapidly changing careers than the foundations of the American industrial economy was used to, hasn't gotten updated on the leadership durability model. Which has been grossly extended by special voting rights and the abandonment of embarrassment for misdemeanour leading to resignation which is almost gone as well as the possible reason why metoo etc was so explosive when we realised that some unacceptable behaviour really is unacceptable.

There's more than merely the benefit of the doubt happening here.
