You dont want a single person in government becoming too powerful, that is why you need to put restrictions on just how long they can hold power.\n\nGeorge Washington set a precident on only serving two terms and then stepping down.  After that all following presidents only served two terms (althgough some tried for more) until FDR.  Franklin Roosevelt was elected for 4 terms in a row (dying a few months into his 4th).\n\nAfter FDR, the 22nd ammendment was passed in 1951 limiting the president to two terms.\n"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 president more than once."\n--22nd ammendment to the US constitution.

Lots of reasons, it clearly takes away certain presidential powers, as the act restricts some things that aren't outlined clearly in the constition. It also grants the president 40 (I think) days to do as he pleases with the military, before the congress must intervene. It was passed, partially, in response to the actions of the President during the Vietnam War.

It could be possible. The Consitution says the President can only be ELECTED to no more than 2 terms. \n\nIf the current President served as Vice President and due to an illness, death, or some other situation where the previous President could no longer function, than the Vice President would become President.\n\nOnly Franklin Delanore Roosevelt served more than 2 terms. He was elected for 4 terms and served 3 full terms and a few months of the 4th term. \n\nThe consitution was admended after his death to limit a President to only 2 terms.

Yes he can.  There are no limits on the Presidential pardon power.\n\nEvery President has pardoned people.  There is a tradition of Presidents issuing a few pardons around Christmas time, and then also before leaving office.  \n\nThe most controversial pardons are probably Gerald Ford's pardon of richard Nixon, which kept Nixon from being tried for any of his crimes which led to Nixon's impeachment.  The pardon probably cost Ford the next election.  The first President Bush also pardoned some of the people involved in the Iran-Contra affair, notably Caspar Weinberger

FDR did NOT pass such a law.  As a result of FDR breaking the tradition set by George Washington of not running for a 3rd term, The 22nd amendment to the Constitution was passed.  It states that 'No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.'  The only provision that MAY prevent such a person from being elected Vice President is the 12th amendment.  The last sentence of which reads 'But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.  It is interesting to note that while the 22nd amendment prevents a person from being ELECTED to the office of President more than twice, the Constitution does not specifically prohibit a person from Serving as President more that twice.

There is no law stating that she cannot run so long as she is a natural born citizen of the U.S. and over the age of 35.\n\nTo inpurplesilk, the two terms need not be consecutive.  President Garfield served two nonconsecutive terms.  It just states that you cannot serve more than two terms.

The president is only elected every 4 years (Presidental). Congress members can be elected every two years (Congressional).

Uh, no- Bush was elected for his second 4 year term.  Bush will be forced out of office by law in 2 more years.  A person can only be president 2 times, then they're banned for life by federal law

No.  The Constitution states that a president can only serve two terms, regardless if it is consecutive or not.  President Grover Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms as 22nd and 24th president, therefore he could not have run for a third term.  The same applies to all other future presidents.

In the federal government, only the president is subject to term limits.  As for state and other goverments, it would depend on the state.  Some impose limits, some do not.

YES YOU ARE ALLOWED ONLY TWO TERMS IN OFFICE AND THERE IS NO LAW STATING THAT THEY HAVE TO BE BACK TO BACK. BUT ONCE THOSE TWO ARE COMPLETE THEN YOUR WHITE HOUSE DAYS ARE OVER. AN EX PRESIDENT FOR INSTANCE CLINTON COULD NOT RUN AS THE VICE PRESIDENT WITH HIS WIFE IF SHE RUNS IN 08 BECAUSE IF SHE DIED THEN HE WOULD BECOME PRESIDENT IE BREAKING THE TERM LIMIT LAW.
