The Twentieth Amendment to the United States Constitution establishes a limit on the number of times a person is eligible for the office of President of the United States, and also establishes additional eligibility conditions for presidents who succeed in office.

If the Twenty-Second Amendment had been in place during Franklin D. Roosevelt’s first term in office, then Franklin D. Roosevelt would only have been able to serve 2 terms instead of 4 in all.

hope this helps
