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.
Best Answer: Per the 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution, a President may serve only two full terms. If the President serves out a term of the preceding President, he may be re-elected to two full terms only if he serves less than half of the preceding President's term. If he serves more than half of the preceding President's term, then he can be re-elected to only one full term.
