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.
