Question 37
The Presidency
The President of the United States can serve only two terms. Why?
The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in 1951, limits presidents to two elected terms (eight years total) to keep them from becoming too powerful. This rule keeps government leadership fresh and balanced.
