The French Diplomat

Satire

France has followed these midterm elections with the greatest interest: they are a moment of democratic vitality for our oldest ally.

In France, too, the Constitution limits the President to two consecutive terms. We have learned that a leader’s legacy is measured less by the elections he imagines winning than by the institutions he leaves stronger behind him.

Version française

La France a suivi ces élections de mi-mandat avec le plus grand intérêt : elles sont un moment de vitalité démocratique chez notre plus vieil allié.

Chez nous aussi, la Constitution limite le Président à deux mandats consécutifs. Nous avons appris que l’héritage d’un dirigeant se mesure moins aux élections qu’il imagine gagner qu’aux institutions qu’il laisse plus fortes derrière lui.

Lost in translation
  • France has been America’s ally since the treaty of 1778. Since the constitutional revision of 2008, a French President may serve no more than two consecutive terms.
