History

Historical Context

The Twenty-second Amendment, ratified on February 27, 1951, limits U.S. presidents to two terms, a response to Franklin D. Roosevelt's unprecedented four-term presidency. This amendment emerged from concerns about concentrated power, voiced by leaders like Harry S. Truman. Donald Trump's recent hints at a 2028 run challenge this limit, reigniting debates over presidential authority and electoral integrity.
