The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, which was ratified in 1947, limits
a president to two elected terms. The amendment also prohibits a person from running for reelection more than once if he or she has already served more than two years of a term to which someone else had been elected. The Constitution of the United States specifies a four-year presidential term. It originally says nothing about how many terms a president could serve.

People say that the Vice President is "only a heartbeat away" from the presidency because the vice president is first in the order of succession. If the President's heart should stop beating, the Vice President takes over the office. If the president dies or otherwise become incapacitated, the vice-president becomes president.
