History

Historical Context

The 22nd 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, supported by figures like Senator John F. Kennedy, reflects historical concerns over concentrated power. Recent discussions about potential amendments echo ongoing debates about presidential authority, which could significantly impact the political landscape established in the mid-20th century.
