The 22nd Amendment and Presidential Terms

  • 📜 The 22nd Amendment states no person shall be elected president more than twice, and limits those who served more than two years of another's term to one election.
  • 💡 While seemingly straightforward, the amendment's language and intent allow for interpretations that could permit a president to serve more than two terms under specific circumstances.
