Question 37 of 128
The President of the United States can serve only two terms. Why?
Official USCIS answers
- (Because of) the 22nd Amendment
- To keep the president from becoming too powerful
Why this is the answer
The 22nd Amendment sets a limit on how many times a person can be elected president. This limit helps prevent one person from holding too much power for too long.
💡 Memory tip: Remember: 22nd Amendment = 2 terms.
