Who favors a limit on the presidents term in office and who wants to extend their term in office?

Purely arbitrarily I would change it to 5 years per term, 1 term maximum.
And then I would limit congressman and senators to maybe 3 terms maximum of 3 years each term.

Plus I would go mad with power and make everyone that works for the government receive absolutely no benefits and no salary and have to fly coach.

It's public service for the greater good.
If you want the power, take the sacrifice.
But don't worry, if you don't like it you can leave.

And then I'd set up a weekly flagellation booth where people pay taxes.
For every $1000 people pay in taxes, a politician has to whip themselves and say "thank you!"
Corporations would become the most hated by politicians, hopefully.

...I might have gone a little outside the question.

3Obama Announces Plans For A Third Term Presidential Run - News Examiner - Examine Your World http://newsexaminer.net/politics/obama-announces-plans-for-a-third-term-presidential-run/ 4 weeks ago

In the history of this country only two presidents have served more than two terms, Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt. The major problem for Obama when he runs in 2016, is the 22nd Amendment. In short, the 22nd Amendment states, “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.

The U.S. Constitution does make an exception in the 22nd Amendment though: “This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states within seven years from the date of its submission to the states by the Congress.” This means Obama’s third term presidential run is only valid if he receives 75% approval from the Congress.

A bill to abolish the 22nd Amendment was recently introduced into Congress by New York Democratic Rep. Jose Serrano and is gaining popularity. This is exactly the kind of news that makes an Obama 2016 Presidential run possible. spock

You either, don't live within the realm of American politics.

OR, you've been asleep since Franklin Deleano Roosevelt's 4th term ended.
Well... he died in office.

Since the 1940s, U.S. presidents, are limited to two terms as president.

I like the limits.
Though, I'd like to add...
For each term served as president, the douche canoe politicians, should also serve a term in prison.
