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 the President
more than once. But this article shall not apply to any person
holding the office of President when this article was proposed
by the 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.
