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.
Currently, the president can only serve two terms of four years. When Franklin D. Roosevelt was president, there was no limit on how many terms the president could serve. But in 1951, an amendment was added to the US Constitution limiting the president to only serving two terms. always thought a US president could only serve 2 terms in office (ie 2 terms of 4 years) but i beleve Franklin D Roosevelt was elected for 4 terms?
