Many presidents after George Washington limited themselves to two terms in office, following his precedent. This practice became formalized with the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1951, which specifically restricts individuals to serving a maximum of two elected terms as president. Notable exceptions include Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was elected to four terms before the amendment was enacted.
