You're correct it was far from the only reason she was ousted.

The founders of the US didn't create the two term limit. That was created in the middle of the 20th century.

Well, credit goes to Eisenhower or whomever was in Congress then. (I knew that too... silly me).

Tony Blair was another 3-termer who lost it completely, again elected not because he was the best candidate but simply because the opposition weren't credible.

I completely agree with a two term limit, would be a great thing to have here although somehow someone would find a way around it.
