Term limits were imposed by Congress after FDR won 4 consecutive elections. I don't think it was ever formalized by an amendment, which means Drumpfs pet court justices can deem term limits unconstitutional, paving the way for the Drumpf royal family to rule indefinately. At least as long as they can "win" those "fair and free" elections.
Someone who knows constitutionality better than I, please tell me I'm wrong
It was actually formalized in an amendment, the 22nd. I don't know that that will mean much now that Presidents can break the law in pursuance of official duties.
