Bachmann: I'm willing to serve only one term if elected president

“I’m a principled reformer, and my goal is to see the country turn around,” she said. “I’m also committed to being a one-term president if that’s what it takes in order to turn things around, because this is not about a personal ambition.

“It’s about getting our financial house in order and to become respected again in the world on an international scale,” Bachmann said in a telephone interview with The Des Moines Register on Friday.
