AI Summary
This proposal would change the Constitution to let someone be elected President up to three times, instead of two. However, it adds limits: if a person has already been elected to two terms in a row, they cannot be elected again. And if someone served more than two years of a term that originally belonged to someone else (for example, after a death), that person could be elected only two times total . In short, it raises the overall cap to three elections but blocks a third straight win, and it keeps a special limit for anyone who finished most of another President’s term .
Today, the Constitution limits people to being elected President no more than twice, with a similar rule about serving more than two years of someone else’s term. This proposal would loosen the general cap while keeping those special restrictions in place .
- Who is affected: Anyone running for President now or in the future .
- What changes: Raises the maximum times a person may be elected from two to three; no third consecutive election; if you served more than two years of another President’s term, you can only be elected twice total .
- When: Would take effect only if adopted as a constitutional amendment .
