Twenty-second Amendment

Read a random definition: undertutor

A quick definition of Twenty-second Amendment:

The Twenty-second Amendment is a rule that says a person can only be elected as President of the United States two times. This means that after serving two terms, they cannot be elected again. If they become President because the previous President couldn't finish their term, they can only be elected one more time.

A more thorough explanation:

The Twenty-Second Amendment is a change to the United States Constitution that was approved in 1951. It states that no person can be elected as President more than two times. If a person becomes President because the previous President died or resigned, and they serve more than two years of the previous President's term, they can only be elected once more.

For example, if a person is elected as President and serves two full terms, they cannot be elected again. However, if a person becomes President because the previous President died or resigned and they serve less than two years of the previous President's term, they can be elected twice more.

The Twenty-Second Amendment was added to the Constitution to prevent any one person from having too much power as President. It ensures that there is a regular change in leadership and that no one person can become too powerful or influential.
