Why is amendment 22 important?

The 22nd Amendment states that no president will be elected to more than 2 terms or 10 years. Under traditional circumstances the president will be elected to a four year term, then will be re-elected to a second four year term. After serving the eight years, that president may not run again. The ten year clause exists in case a president were to be assassinated. If the president were to be killed, the vice president would then become president. If the (assassinated) president were to serve two years before being assassinated, the vice president would serve the remaining two years, and may run for two more terms (8 years), which would total ten. No one may serve more than ten years. This amendment was passed because many people feared that a president may gain too much power and never leave office.

Who will become president after Barack Obama?

It's too early to tell. President Obama was re-elected in November 2012, but we have no way of predicting who might run for the presidency in 2016-- Mr. Obama will not be allowed to run (he will have served two terms, which is all a US president can serve). But there is no way of knowing in 2012 who the candidates will be in four years.
