Harry Truman initially said he had made a decision on running for another term in 1952 but would not announce it until he was ready. It would be unwise for a president to announce early that he would not run again because he would lose influence as a "lamb duck." The 22nd Amendment was ratified in 1951 making a president ineligible for a third term, but made an exception for the incumbent. Truman did not want to defy the spirit of the Amendment and said the only reason he would possibly run was if he felt it necessary for the good of the country. He eventually backed Adlai Stevenson who lost to Dwight Eisenhower (twice.)
