Q. Consider the following statements about the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution:

1. It was introduced after Franklin D. Roosevelt’s unprecedented four terms as President.
2. It limits any individual to serving a maximum of two elected terms as President.
3. A former two-term President can serve again if elected through Congress.

Which of the above statements are correct?
Answer: 1 and 2 only
Notes: The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, restricts any individual to serve only two elected terms as a U.S. President. This amendment was introduced after Franklin D. Roosevelt’s unique tenure of four terms as President. Hence, statements 1 and 2 are correct. In contrast, statement 3 is incorrect because even if Congress elects a former two-term President, it cannot bypass the two-term limit stipulation of the 22nd Amendment.
