Amendment 25 restricts the President to two terms.
The Twenty-Second Amendment (Section 1), ratified in 1951, limits the US President to two terms of office.Amendment 22, Section 1No 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.
yes a vice president can serve as many terms as the person voted president has chosen him as his running mate. this position is not elected by the people.
The limit is two four-year terms of office. The rule was not officially in place, but each President at the time abided by this rule. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was the exception where he served a total of four terms in office. The 22nd Amendment was then adopted after World War II which restricts a sitting President to only two four-year terms of office.
He has served the maximum two terms allowed by law.
Theodore Roosevelt was the only president to serve more than two terms. He died during his fourth term, although he would have kept running had he lived. It was at this point that congress passed an amendment limiting the number of terms a president can serve. Two terms, or 10 years max.
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.
