Amendment XXII

"1: No person shall be elected to the office of President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

2: This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress."

The twenty second amendment limits the terms of the Presidency down to two terms, totaling eight years. This amendment was a response to FDR having been elected for four different terms and remains the only President to be elected for more than two terms. It was because of FDR's popularity that this amendment was ratified.

This comic illustrates the idea of how people should not be fooled or lured into voting for someone for a third term, siting a popular paraphrase to emphasize their point.

This is an image of a button that was in circulation as Roosevelt was running for his third term as President. It is a unique button as the idea of a third term will only every be applicable to Roosevelt, as he remains the only president to ever serve more than two terms.
