Amendment XXII

Amendment XXII

 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.

This is just the first bullet of this Amendment but it states that the President is not allowed more than two terms of office.  This is a rule set long ago in the Constitution.  It is important for the American people to know this as well.

This image is great.  Portrays the time constraint on them in a fun way but actually accurate.
