::indeed many rulers have retired or abdicated or not sought another term in world history (including Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, and Grant in 19th century US history). When offered worldly power Jesus always declined, but Washington ACCEPTED in 1775 (command of the army), 1789 (presidency) and 1798 (command of the army again). 00:24, 6 November 2008 (EST)
