Question 97

The 'Twenty-Second Amendment' limits the president to serve a maximum of two terms.

The amendment specifically restricts an individual from being elected to the office of the President more than twice, thereby establishing a two-term limit.

A) one term

This option is incorrect as the Twenty-Second Amendment does not limit the president to just one term. Instead, it allows for a maximum of two terms, making this option factually inaccurate.

B) two terms

This option is correct because the Twenty-Second Amendment explicitly states that no person can be elected to the office of the President more than twice, thereby establishing a clear limit of two terms.

C) three terms

This option is incorrect since the Twenty-Second Amendment prohibits a president from serving more than two terms. Allowing three terms would contradict the amendment's intent and wording.

D) four terms

This option is also incorrect as the amendment clearly limits a president to two terms. Four terms would exceed the stipulated limits set forth in the Twenty-Second Amendment.

E) no term limits

This option is incorrect because the Twenty-Second Amendment was enacted specifically to impose term limits on the presidency. It explicitly restricts the number of terms a president can serve, making this option factually false.

Conclusion

The Twenty-Second Amendment definitively establishes a two-term limit for U.S. presidents, making option B the correct answer. All other options fail to accurately reflect the amendment's provisions, either by suggesting fewer terms or by proposing a limit that exceeds the established two-term maximum.
