44. What the heck?
Eisenhower was the first US president capped by term limits, Washington and Jefferson both supported two term maximums, as did Madison and Monroe, and since the 22nd Amendment was put into place, it put a cap on the following folks running for a third term: Dwight D. Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.

Thus, it's had more of a limit on right-wing power than left-wing power.

Populist elections to.... suspend elections? Uh, you really need me to explain why that isn't democratic?
