The exact text of the 22nd Amendment:"Section 1. 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."

∙ 13y agoAccording to the Twenty-second Amendment to the Constitution, ratified by Congress on February 27, 1951, "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."
This amendment effectively limits the time a President can remain in office to a maximum of two four year terms, or a total of eight years.
Exception: If the President had, prior to being elected, finished out the term of the previous President and served two years or less of that term, he could serve a maximum of ten years; 2 years of the previous Presidents term plus the two 4 year terms to which he was elected.
