How long did the nation follow washington's lead on two-term limit?

The nation followed Washington’s lead on the two-term limit for 144 years. It was followed until 1940.

EXPLANATION

If a person is chosen to be the president of the United States, the person will have the position for a period. On another word, it is called a “term” and it lasts for 4 years. The Constitution of the US itself does not have a limit on how many times a person can be elected as the president.  

However, America’s first president, George Washington, rejected when he was elected the third time. This act suggests that two terms are enough for someone to be the president. Washington’s gesture of suggesting a two-term limit became an unwritten rule for the future US presidents until 1940.

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt broke the two-term limit. He won the third time as a president in 1940, he also won the fourth term in 1944. Roosevelt was the president who went through almost all World War II, and also the Great Depression in 1930. Roosevelt died in 1945, specifically in April, only after months he just started his fourth term as a president.  

After the death of Roosevelt, the Republicans in Congress worked on Amendment XXII. Therefore, Roosevelt was the one and only president who serve as a president for more than two terms. The amendment was made by the Congress in 1947 and was eventually legalized on February 27, 1951.
