22nd Amendment

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term

That no person can hold office no more than two terms and that includes people who held office if something had happened to the president.



It showed that only one president was able to be elected for more than to terms and then said they adopted this so we wouldn’t have a monarchy.



Explained the amendment and why people say up to two terms or 8-10 years.
