Several of the constitutional authors who also served as president set the precedence for the adoption of the 22nd amendment (1951) to the US Constitution which limits the terms you can serve for president, many argue this was also because of several immediately preceding presidents overstaying their welcome in office.

In the 1990's several political bills were introduced, and passed, that also started putting limits on other lower elected & appointed offices.
