Which statement accurately describes one constitutional restriction on presidential power?

a. the constitution prevents presidents from dealing directly with foreign leaders.
b. the constitution limits presidents to two four-year terms in office.
c. the constitution requires that congress approve all executive actions.
d. the constitution forces the president to appoint officials from both political parties.

The answer is B. The constitution limits presidents to two four year terms in office

The correct answer is: B. The Constitution limits presidents to two four-year terms in office. This is declared in the 22nd amendment. Before the 22nd amendment, Presidents usually served two terms, as George Washington did.  Franklin D Roosevelt did not follow this tradition and was President for four terms. World War II and the Great Depression convinced him to run for a third and fourth term. After FDR died in 1945, many Americans began to distinguish that having a president serve more than eight years was bad for the country.  This led to the 22nd amendment, which was passed by Congress in 1947 and ratified by the states by 1951.
