i personally think it should be an 8 year term with a term limit of 3 terms. so 24 years total. and one's position can be given to another candidate as well, doesn't just always go to the incumbent

A quick definition of lawful heir:
A lawful heir is someone who is entitled to receive property from someone who has died without leaving a will. This person can be a direct descendant or a close relative of the deceased. In some cases, a person can inherit property even if there is a will. The term "heir" is often used to refer to someone who inherits a lot of money or wealth. However, it simply means someone who is entitled to receive property from a deceased person.A more thorough explanation:
Definition: A person who is entitled to receive the property of a deceased person according to the laws of intestacy. This can include real or personal property, and can be inherited through a will or by intestate succession.
Examples:
- John's father passed away without a will, so John is his lawful heir and will inherit his father's property.
- Susan's grandmother left her a large sum of money in her will, making Susan a lawful heir to her grandmother's estate.
These examples illustrate how a person can become a lawful heir through either intestate succession or through a will. In both cases, the person is entitled to inherit property from the deceased person.
