I'm confused as to what the go is with the whole Presidency issue over in Egypt. I know that Mubarak is the 4th and serving President of Egypt. I've also been told that he's served several terms of presidency (about 30 years worth of terms if I'm correct?) But I don't seem to understand what the go is with these protesters wanting him to step down, because of how long he's served?
Now I know that in certain countries, such as the USA, you can only serve a certain amount of terms (two I believe) before you are no longer allowed to rerun for presidency. Australia on the other hand, you can rerun for Prime Minister as many times as you wish, so long as you are elected.
So what is the go with Egypt? Are you elected into Presidency? If so, how many terms can you serve as a President, and how long is each term? Finally, can someone enlighten me as to why the Protesters want him to step down all of a sudden?
