The two-term tradition for U.S. presidents was established by George Washington, who voluntarily stepped down after two terms in office. This precedent was followed by subsequent presidents until Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was elected to four terms. The tradition was later codified in the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1951, which limits presidents to two terms.
