That is a great question, and one I've often thought about. I remember thinking the only way to get around this issue was Plato's idea of "philosopher-kings", however our nature would make this too risky of a decision. Maybe the solution is setting up a democracy that doesn't restrict the number of terms you can serve? Then a president could conceivably lay the ground work for future generations? I know that is a flawed approach as well. Surprisingly, it is one of the toughest questions I've ever encountered.
