To my knowledge , this is not right. The Constitution never limited the number of terms until the 22 amendment, that was inacted in 1951. It was only tradition because George Washington declined to run for a third term. Roosevelt was the only President to be elected to more than two terms ( 4 ) but there was no law preventing it then.
Im not aware of any exception to the 22 amendment either. Bush could not run for a third term now because we are at war, if thats what your saying ?
Please give an article or document, ect. from were you get your above statement.
