According to the website ConstitutionCenter.org, nothing in the original Constitution limited presidential terms. Amendment XXII, which was ratified Feb. 27, 1951, is responsible for the two-term limit on presidency. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the only president in history to serve more than two terms.
"Although nothing in the original Constitution limited presidential terms, the nation's first president, George Washington, declined to run for a third term, suggesting that two terms of four years were enough for any president. Washington's voluntary two-term limit became the unwritten rule for all presidents until 1940."
