Amendment XXII
Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

Section 2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states within seven years from the date of its submission to the states by the Congress.

In other words the 22nd Amendment states that no president shall serve more than two terms in office. The amendment was passed by Congress in 1947 and ratified by enough states in 1951, following the four elections won by Franklin Delano Roosevelt. No one besides Roosevelt had successfully managed to become president for more than two terms, and few tried. Supporters argue that the amendment keeps America's president from becoming a type of king; critics argue that it limits the president's power during the second term.

The American people ought to have the right to choose to keep a president who is doing a good job.

Dwight D. Eisenhower, the first U.S. president subject to the amendment, was the first to argue that a president's power is limited during the second term, because no one has to worry that the president will run for office again. We need to end the lame duck.
