Amendment XXII, presidential term limits. In addition to forcing out popular incumbents, this amendment also causes a president to become a lame duck immediately upon reelection. The president's ineligibility for a third term also causes others to jockey for position, because they no longer have to wonder whether he or she will run again. What are the pros and cons, and what are some examples of how the system has changed? Consider this scenario: if Ronald Reagan had won a third term, the first President Bush might not have succeeded him, and the second President Bush might not have become nationally known. If Bill Clinton had been eligible for a third term, the second President Bush might not have been elected. Who might have been elected in 1940, if the Twenty-Second Amendment had existed to bar Roosevelt's third term?
