In a general case, it is quite obvious that what citizens decide in a
democratic manner can have anti-democratic consequences. For instance, the
NSDAP was elected into power.
In the specific case, allowing officials to be in power indefinitely is a
step in the opposite direction of classic democratic principles, in which an
individual could serve a limited number of times in office.
