Ursine Monster8 Lunch is correct - Washington and Jefferson set a precedent by only serving 2 terms as President, but an official limit wasn’t set until much later. In fact, iirc some of the founding fathers-at least initially-advocated for no term limits when crafting the constitution. Since there wasn’t agreement in this, nothing was written about it in the Constitution. Washington never strictly stated 2 terms should be the limit; he stepped down after his 2 terms partly to set an example for future presidents but also because he didn’t really want to keep serving as President. He had done his time and fulfilled civic duty and was hoping to retire back to Mt. Vernon in peace.

@Roman Roman Look, we can't judge past actions with modern morals or principals. Just because of woke culture, every political leader in the 20th century and before are condemned in spite of the great things he has done. People like F.D.R. and Churchill are disgraced. Churchill was always a racist and an imperialist, but it was rarely brought up before BLM. Racism was still the norm prior to the 1960s, so such an action would not have garnered so much attention as it would back then. I am not saying that what F.D.R. did was acceptable, but we need to understand the historical context before randomly calling him out.

President from the age of 51 to 63, that's amazing and I wonder just how many vacations and doctors visits along with how much leisure time and relaxation he needed to run the world's sole superpower during the worst economic collapse in history followed by the worst conflict in human history all with poor health and being an older man already when first elected. It takes quite the passion and determination to persevere through those times although I'm pretty sure he was forced to serve his last one or two terms to end the war that he was blamed for dragging the United States into and was being demanded to see out the end of, although I know of many horrible and corrupt things he and his administration were responsible for I still believe he was one of the great men of our country's history and a good role model on the surface at least for young men to look up to the ideals that be preached regardless of how often he failed to practice them

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself” the most striking and strong quote I personally think he ever had. The depth of what he meant at that time and how true it still rings today. Long live his legacy. Edit: and I’m surprised you didn’t mention that amazing quote that was said at his funeral and honestly shakes me all the time. A man asked a homeless man if he knew FDR and he replied “No. But he knew me”. Just cementing his greatness.
