20. I very openly advocated that he should be running in 2020 expplicitly as a one-term President.

There were already concerns about his age. Announcing in 2020 that he intended to come in and spend 4 years using everything he had learned during his career to get the country back on track following the disastrous Trump first term (rampnt graft, selling out to our enemies, COVID, 2 impeachments, etc.) and NOT run for a second term. That would have been seen as the capstone of a long career of public service.

He could have even taken it one step further and committed to convening ann the living Presidents (except Trump) regularly as were were putting the country back together.

This kind of posture could have given him a much broader mandate to make needed changes like reforming the Spureme Court. because he honestly could say it had nothing to do with any of his political ambitions.
