They are. They're enforceable every four years. Ask Bush Sr.

This is the correct answer. Anyone who doesn't take campaign rhetoric with a gigantic grain of salt is a fool. Even those things that a candidate genuinely believes and genuinely wants to do, some are simply out of their control and some the facts and circumstances change.

Sounds like an awesome system you've got cooking there.

If you don't like it you can spend a few years getting like-minded people on your side and after a few more years vote in representatives at the local, state, and federal levels who after many years of work will change the laws so that terms are shorter or campaign promises are enforceable. The system is perfect.
