The 22nd amendment to the Constitution limits the number of terms a President may serve to 2 terms. A term is defined as having served at least half of all 4 years of a full term. While President Truman was still not subject to the amendment (since it was not yet ratified by the states), he would have been because he had served all 2 terms but 3 months of his first term. In order to comply early, Truman decided to not seek re-election in 1952.
