-> sorry, but i made the only 100 on my finals test in highschool on this very
-> question... the key phrasing is "consceutive terms" and
there are only two
-> consecutive terms allowed... then one term may be skipped and then two more
-> consecutive terms and so on...

"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."
