History

Historical Context

The 22nd Amendment, ratified on February 27, 1951, limits U.S. presidents to two elected terms, a response to Franklin D. Roosevelt's unprecedented four terms. This amendment emerged from longstanding debates about presidential power, dating back to the Constitutional Convention of 1787.
