Dwight Eisenhower was the first president affected by the two-term limitation. So he was prevented from seeking a third term in 1960, had he desired to do so. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eisenhower [Link added Feb. 22, 2008 by Zbeckabee] Jun 22 00, 4:13 PM

Another "take" on the subject: On August 9, 1974, President Richard M. Nixon resigned as Chief Executive and was succeeded by Vice President Gerald R. Ford. Until then, only death had ever cut short the term of a President of the United States. The 25th Amendment provides that the Vice President succeeds to the presidency if the President becomes disabled, and specifies the conditions applying to succession. http://usinfo.state.gov/products/pubs/constitution/constitution.htm Feb 22 08, 8:59 PM
