It’s Time to Address Term Limits

On February 27th, Americans across the nation celebrated National Term Limits Day. National Term Limits Day celebrates the ratification of the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, setting a limit of two four-year terms for American presidents.

The history of this important amendment is informative for today’s conversation around expanding the concept to include members of Congress.

Until Franklin Roosevelt, no president had served more than two elected terms in office. It was a tradition established by George Washington.
