based on this, which appears to be a scholarly and reliable source, the history section underplays the extent to which republican opposition to FDR led to the 22nd and that the GOP had been proposing this for several years before it passed https://conservancy.umn.edu/bitstream/handle/11299/165281/07_01_Strathis.pdf?sequence=1&i

Possible to serve for more than ten years?[change source]

The article, and every other article that I've read from other sources suggest that a president can serve up to ten years in office. However, my understanding is that there is actually no limit to how many years a president can serve in the office. A president who has already served 10 years may, for example, be elected vice president (or if there is a conflict with the 12th Amendment, Speaker of the House, or any other office in the line of succession), and then become president again for the remainder of a term if everyone above them resigns. And, theoretically, they could do it again and again. Assuming whoever gets elected resigns every term, I am aware of no limit to how many years a person may serve as president. They just can't get elected to the office.

I believe it should be noted that the maximum is ten years consecutively and leave open the possibility that a president could serve intermittently for an unlimited number of years. 143.170.77.210 (talk) 20:11, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
