This article, based on the teleological method, could be characterised as a compressed doctrine of presidential term limits that consists of the discussions of the 1787 Philadelphia Constitutional Convention and Federalists/Anti-Federalists during the process of ratification of the draft Constitution. The analysis of the thoughts of various American statesmen on the constitutional regulation of the executive tenure during the period of 1775–1790 demonstrates the importance and objectives of the executive tenure for the future of the US constitutional system. The early doctrine of the US presidential term limits consists of three steps, which could be defined as understanding, discussion, and finding the solution to the issue. The first step relates to the constitutional conventions of the states in the period of 1775– 1780, when the problem of the term limits of the executive was raised jointly with the issue of the powers of state governors' institutions. Their relative modesty, in comparison to the terms and powers of other institutions, is explained by the fears of the American statesmen related to the dangers of monarchy and tyranny. The said feelings and the importance of the national executive were the key factors in the first sessions of the 1787 Philadelphia Convention. Most delegates were conservative on the structure of the executive, elections, and the term limits, proposing a collegial body, single term, and elections at the parliament. However, the idea that a weak executive might not be effective prompted harsh political debates between the representatives of the states. [.]

THIS ARTICLE DESCRIBES THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION SIMULATION, A MAJOR NEW OFFERING OF THE INTERACTIVE COMMUNICATIONS SIMULATIONS (ICS) PROGRAM OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN SCHOOL OF EDUCATION. THE PRODUCT OF A CLOSE COLLABORATION BETWEEN ICS AND THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY, IT IS A ROLE-PLAYING SIMULATION THAT IS AN EXERCISE IN BOTH AMERICAN HISTORY AND UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. IN THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION SIMULATION PARTICIPANTS ROLE-PLAY 70 PROMINENT AMERICAN PUBLIC FIGURES WHO ARE ALL DELEGATES TO A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION "IN THE NEAR FUTURE." THE MOST DRAMATIC ASPECT OF THE EXERCISE IS THAT THESE FIGURES ARE DRAWN FROM MORE THAN 200 YEARS OF AMERICAN HISTORY. THE OLDEST DELEGATE IS GEORGE MASON, A MEMBER OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION OF 1789, AND THE YOUNGEST IS MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. ONLY THREE OF THE 70 CHARACTERS ARE ALIVE TODAY. A CONSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK, PERHAPS ESPECIALLY IN THE UNITED STATES, IS INTENDED TO BE AN ENDURING DOCUMENT, POLITICALLY RELEVANT TO GENERATIONS WHOSE ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL CONTEXTS HAVE LITTLE IN COMMON. A HISTORICALLY CONSTRUCTED CONVENTION ATTEMPTING TO DRAFT SUCH A DOCUMENT PROVIDES A DRAMATIC SETTING FOR ITS DELEGATE PARTICIPANTS TO CONFRONT DIRECTLY A BROAD RANGE OF CONSTITUTIONAL MATTERS AND THE VERY ESSENCE OF CONSTITUTIONALISM IN ITS HISTORICAL AND POLITICAL CONTEXT. THIS IS THE EDUCATIONAL INTENTION OF ICS UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION SIMULATION.
