Why gravity considered as acceleration?
This is a pretty deep question, and it is what prompted Albert Einstein to formulate his theory of general relativity. The basic is the so-called equivalence principle, that acceleration and gravity are the same. Einstein became to understand that there is no local way to distinguish gravity from uniform acceleration. A thought experiment would be you inside a closed up room. Without any way to look or detect anything outside the room you will not be able to distinguish whether the room is inside a gravitational field or uniformly accelerating. No experiment that can be carried out locally can make the distinction either. As such gravity and acceleration has to be the same. In fact acceleration inherits all the hallmarks from gravity, including gravitational time dilatation!

Which president inspired the amendment regarding term limits for the president?
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) is the reason why we have the 22nd Amendment, which restricts the presidential term to 2 terms, and a maximum of 10 years. For example: If a president dies after 2 years in office [exactly], then his vice president takes office to complete his term. Then, this vice president could still run for office for another 2 terms, which will be a max of 10 years. Those who prompted the limits on presidential terms are those who opposed FDR, and didn't want to have a president serve for 4 terms again.

Who led theodore roosevelt to run for president?
A combination of unlikely events made Roosevelt the youngest President in US history. After succeeding William McKinley in 1901, he was elected to a term of his own (1905-1909). Roosevelt had been appointed Assistant Secretary of the Navy early in the first term of President McKinley, and he was practically running it by 1898. He left to fight in the very brief Spanish American War, and on his return was famous enough in his home state to be elected Governor of New York. However, his narrow victory prompted his allies to promote him for Vice President in 1900 -- his political foes also rathered that he return to national office. McKinley, whose friend and Vice President Garret Hobart had died in 1899, saw no harm in increasing his re-election chances with the popular Roosevelt. Although Roosevelt may have envisioned running for President one day, he could not have imagined that McKinley would be assassinated within months of re-election in 1901, putting Roosevelt in the White House at the age of 42.
