when did the term limit for president start
FDR was the first and only president to serve more than two terms. Passed by Congress in 1947, and ratified by the states on February 27, 1951, the Twenty-Second Amendment limits an elected president to two terms in office, a total of eight years.lthough nothing in the original Constitution limited presidential terms, the nationâs first president, George Washington, declined to run for a third term, suggesting that two terms of four years were enough for any president.
