Ineligibility and the Electoral College
Commentary
There is no clearer statement than the one here that the idea of 'rotation in office' was linked in the minds of many at the Convention to the election of the President by the House of Representatives. Remove the choice from the House, and the requirement that the President be term-limited seemed much less urgent.
