Franklin wrote the 22nd amendment
(I do not agree with this answer. See below)
Talk about a presidential term-limits amendment started in 1944, when Republican candidate Thomas Dewey said a potential 16-year term for Roosevelt was a threat to democracy.
In March 1947, a Republican-controlled Congress approved a 22nd Amendment, with an exception that would exclude a president in office from term limits during the ratification process.
It took until February 1951 to get enough states to ratify the amendment, and President Harry Truman decided to opt against running for a third term.
Since then, some members of Congress have introduced efforts to repeal the 22ndAmendment, but they haven't made it out of committee.

No, it should not be waived for anyone. That amendment became part of the constitution in 1951, after Franklin D. Roosevelt had been elected to four terms (and died mid-way through his fourth). From George Washington onward, it was generally understood that presidents would serve only two terms. Except for Roosevelt, that was the rule, and the 22nd amendment made it official. There is no reason to change it.
