Answer: A) Presidents could only be elected to office twice.
Explanation:
The 22nd Amendment states
"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once."
This Amendment was passed in 1951 as a direct result of President Franklin D. Roosevelt serving four terms as President of the United States.
