Why can the president only serve a certain number of terms?
George Washington, the first U.S. president, set the precedent of retiring after two terms in office. His example was followed until Franklin D. Roosevelt broke it, serving three full terms and part of a fourth term before his death. After his death, Congress decided to make Washington's precedent law in order to prevent a president from becoming too powerful, as some saw FDR to be, and undermining the checks and balances built into our system.
Why was the precedent of two presidential terms set by Washington so important?
I am not sure how important it was since there were not really very many presidents who would have served a third term even without Washington's precedent. Maybe Jefferson, Madison, Monroe or Theodore Roosevelt would have considered a third term had the precedent not been set against it. Jackson and Wilson might have if they were healthier when their second terms ended.

Which president refused to serve more than two terms?
George Washington, the first US president, set a non-binding precedent that was followed from 1787 to 1940. Washington was the first to refuse a third term, thereby accepting a precedent that was followed by all until FDR broke it, although Grant let it be known that he would accept a draft for a third term and Wilson hinted that he might go for a third term before he had his stroke. Teddy Roosevelt left after his first 7 years as President (1901-1909), but regretted it. In 1912, he ran for president again in his newly formed Bull Moose party, against his fellow Republican and successor, William Howard Taft.
