District Council member Brianne Nadeau: This limbo that we're in because of the congressional rider is untenable, it's a big problem. John Fitzgerald Kennedy: I hear it said that West Berlin is militarily untenable-and so was Bastogne, and so, in fact, was Stalingrad.
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.
The President is restricted to two full elected terms in office by the 22nd Amendment. This is the only term limit in the Constitution. There is no restriction of term for the Vice President or any of the non-elected members of the Executive Branch.
