Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the 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.
Section 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.
Section 1. Presidents can only have two four-year terms, after that they cannot be president anymore. If someone steps in and becomes the acting president for more than two years, they can only be elected to be President once, so serve only one four-year term after that. This amendment didn’t apply to the President who was in office at the time this amendment was proposed to Congress.
Section 2. For this amendment to take effect, it has to be ratified as an amendment by three-fourths of the states, within seven years of its submission to the states by Congress.
This amendment is great because it puts a limit on how many terms a president can serve, preventing people from being President for fourteen years just like Franklin D. Roosevelt did, and allowing people to choose a different president with new views and goals.
