22nd Amendment:
Limits the number of times that a person can be elected president: a person cannot be elected president more than twice, and a person who has served more than two years of a term to which someone else was elected cannot be elected more than once.
Date Ratified: February 27th, 1951
I think this amendment is important because it keeps the United States from having a monarchial ruler. As the US has grown and changed we have strayed away from having one complete ruler. We claim to have a democracy which allows our country to have input and control from the people. I believe that two four year terms are a perfect amount of time. It allows the people to see if they like the changes made by the elected president and decide if they want to reelect them. If the same president is reelected for a second term then those who did not vote for that candidate can look forward to the next election. It keeps people involved in the voting process and looking forward to the future.
