Question 37: The President of the United States can serve only two terms. Why?

Official answers (any one counts)

USCIS accepts any of these answers. If the question asks for more than one, give as many as it asks.

• (Because of) the 22nd Amendment
  Listen
• To keep the president from becoming too powerful
  Listen

Grandpa explains

The 22nd Amendment says so, kiddo: two terms at most, so no president gets too powerful.

Careful: these are NOT the answer

These are the common mix-ups. The app uses them as traps so you practice.

• The 1st Amendment
• The 10th Amendment
• The Bill of Rights
