Our answer:
1. USA shouldn't put political activists on its coin/currency. (Activists that brought USA to life are different.)
2. The Tubman $20, as illustrated, isn't very appealing art.
3. If USA has to go with a post-Revolution activist, as least improve the art factor.

The terms of office of elected individuals are all limited now. Usually 2, 4, or 6 years.
