The amendment to the Bill of Rights passed in 1951. It limits the number of terms a person may serve as president to two. Also, if a person as served more than two years of another's term, then that counts as one.

Until then, it was a tradition that two terms was the limit - begun by George Washington. The Republicans led the change.
