    Sixty-four years ago on February 27, the Twenty-Second (XXII) Amendment was ratified, officially limiting US Presidents to two terms.
    The practice of limiting elected officials to specific types and durations of holding public office is commonly known as "Term Limits".
    Accordingly, how much do you know about... the history, legality, and (un)popularity of using Term Limits with our public officials?
    Please give us your best answers for each of the following 3 TRUE or FALSE questions, by using the (reuseable) answers of "A"=TRUE or "B"=FALSE.
    Good Luck and remember YOU are always a WINNER with us, regardless of your actual answers!

    ++ "The Prez Sez: Thank You, I Take Just Two" ++   
Question #1: Although George Washington was the first US President to voluntarily limit his service to just two terms, it was actually Pres. Dwight D. Eisenhower who was the first President inaugurated for a term, limited by the Constitution's 22nd Amendment -- True or False?
        A. True, or
        B. False
.
Question #2: During its 1994 term, the US Supreme Court decided the question -- brought by the State of Arkansas -- that individual states can legally force term limits on their own elected members of the U.S. Congress?  And guess what? Arkansas won! -- True or False?
        A. True, or
        B. False
.
Question #3: According to a 2013 Gallup Poll, regardless of political party affiliation, large majorities of Americans are in favor of establishing term limits for members of the U.S. House and Senate  -- True or False?
        A. True, or
        B. False
.
After his victory in the 1904 election, President Theodore Roosevelt promised that although his first term had lasted only three years (beginning after the assassination of President William McKinley in 1901), he would adhere to the two-term precedent established by George Washington. Yet by 1912, Roosevelt announced his candidacy. Not until 1951, after Franklin Roosevelt’s four terms in office, was the 22nd Amendment ratified, officially limiting Presidents to two terms (National Archives Identifier 306175)

++ QUOTE OF THE DAY ++  --  Pres. Harry Truman about "Term Limits" for Congress -- after Congress passed Amendment XXII ("Term Limits" for Presidents) on March 21, 1947:
        ‘‘We'd help cure senility and seniority, both terrible legislative diseases nationally.’’

=================
AMENDMENT XXII
Passed by Congress March 21, 1947. Ratified February 27, 1951.
Section 1.
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more that once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.
Section 2.
This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.
