The Constitution of the United States of America

Amendment XXII (1951)
Section 1.
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and

        I think the above is pretty clear.
        No more than twice----

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 shal
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 a
President during the remainder of such term.
Section 2.
This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an
amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the
several states within seven years from the date of its submission to the states
by the Congress.
