WI US President term is only 3 years long.

Clipped from a letter from Alexander Hamilton To Timothy Pickering dated September 16th 1803:
"In the plan of a Constitution, which I drew up while the convention was sitting, and which I communicated to Mr Madison about the close of it, perhaps a day or two after, the office of President has no greater duration than for three years"

So, what if US Presidential terms are only 3 years long?
 
Absolutely terrible! The last campaign seems to have gone on for at least two years - do you want to hear that sort of crap continuously?

Not necessarily. People don't elect the president; electors in the electoral collage elect the president. Hamilton originally proposed a weird three level thing: People elect electors, these electors elect a second group of electors and this group elect the president. Even if we drop this three level thing, a two level process would could look like this:

The people vote for local electors (the people do not vote for a president, there is no president on the ballot). The electors then pick a president.

This is not much different from what we have on paper now.

Now, if the electors don't have any duty besides electing the President, then people will elect them based on their presidential preferences.
