Well put -- the rest should have been just ONE TERM. Especially Clinton...got help me forget the thought and sight of those two criminal Marxist maggots.

President Washington was not term limited. He had character. When he refused to run for a third term, he indicated that he thought two terms were enough for anybody. This established a precedent, which all presidents followed until FDR.

After FDR was elected to a 4th term, and made some serious errors as he was dying, it became evident that Washington's precedent should be more strongly encouraged, thus the 22nd amendment.

Washington was not "term limited", he set the two term standard which was followed as tradition until somebody went and screwed with that in the 20th century. The most amazing thing that Washington did in his entire presidency, which changed the rules and set the bar high for all following leaders was to voluntarily give up power.
