Answer 1

Letter D is the correct answer.

According to the 22nd Amendment, "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice". Many U.S Presidents and other critics have called for the repeal of the 22nd Amendment, since it sets a limit for whoever wants to become the president of the United States.
