Constitutional Barriers

As per the US Constitution, a president cannot be elected beyond two four-year terms. This restriction was established by the 22nd Amendment, which was ratified in 1951 following Franklin D. Roosevelt's election to four consecutive terms.

The amendment officially enshrined in law a two-term tradition that had been followed since George Washington stepped down after his second term.
