After leading the Continental Army to victory in the American Revolution, George Washington became the nation’s first president and worked to define what that office meant. And while there wouldn’t be a law codifying this limit for over a century-and-a-half, the fact that he retired after eight years set the once-informal precedent that presidents should only serve two terms.
