What did the Twenty-Second Amendment make constitutional law?

Asked by savannahlower5

Answer (3)

The 22nd amendment to the Constitution is : Limitation of Presidential Tenure
Presidents could only serve 2 full terms (8 years)
or
They could serve a maximum of 10 years. If the President were to get assassinated then the vice president could take over for the remainder of the term the assassinated president had. Then they could chose to run for president once they completed the assassinated presidents term. Hopefully that makes sense and was helpful. :)

It set a limit for presidency. There can only be two different terms, each are 4 years.

The Twenty-Second Amendment limits U.S. Presidents to two elected terms in office, with a maximum of 10 years possible if they succeed to the presidency mid-term. Ratified in 1951, this amendment was largely a response to Franklin D. Roosevelt's unprecedented four terms. Its purpose is to maintain democratic principles and prevent excessive concentration of power.
