thomas jefferson
the twenty-second amendment (1951) limits an elected president to two terms in office, a total of eight years. however, under some circumstances it is possible for an individual to serve more than eight years. although nothing in the original frame of government limited how many presidential terms one could serve, the nation's first president, george washington, declined to run for a third term, suggesting that two terms of four years were enough for any president. this precedent remained an unwritten rule of the presidency until broken by franklin d. roosevelt, who was elected to a third term as president 1940 and in 1944 to a fourth.
