Amendment 22, ratified in 1951, addresses the issue of presidential term limits in the United States. It was primarily a response to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's four-term presidency, which raised concerns about the concentration of power and the potential for an indefinite presidency. The proposal involved lawmakers, political leaders, and the American public, who were worried about the implications of long-term incumbency. Ultimately, Congress and the states played key roles in its passage and ratification.
