Question: What u.s. president established the precedent of not seeking more than two terms in office?

Disambiguated questions and answers:
context: The third president, Thomas Jefferson, started the tradition of presidential term limits by refusing to run for a third term in 1808. Everything Washington did obviously set a precedent, but did not necessarily set a new policy. However, George Washington's decision in 1796 not to run for a third term has sometimes been given credit as the start of a "tradition" of the strong policy that no president should ever run for a third term. Washington wanted to retire when his first term ended in 1792 but all his advisors begged him to stand for reelection. By 1796 he insisted on retiring, for he felt worn out, and was disgusted with the virulent personal attacks on his integrity. His Farewell Address very briefly mentioned why he would not run for a third term, and goes on to give a great deal of political advice, but it does not mention term limits. After his death, his refusal to run was explained in terms of a "no-third-tradition". argues, "The argument for term limits has a solid and respectable pedigree. Contrary to popular belief, however, that pedigree does not begin with George Washington."

Long answers:
long_answer: George Washington is sometimes given credit for establishing the precedent of not seeking more than two terms in office. Although, everything Washington did set a precedent, but not necessarily a policy. Washington did not seek reelection for the third term only because he was too worn out to run and wanted to retire. The president that did, in fact, establish the precedent for not seeking reelection for the third term was the 3rd president, Thomas Jefferson, when he refused to run for a third term in 1808.
