Why do US presidents serve four-year terms?
US Presidents are elected to a four year term, and can serve another. The US Constitution does not allow any more than two full terms. Then , why did President Dwight D Eisenhower serve for 12 (twelve) years ? Eisenhower served two full terms, a total of eight years. The only U.S. President to serve 12 years was Franklin Roosevelt, and the Constitutional amendment limiting how often a President may run for reelection was a direct result.

What precedent did George Washington set for future presidents?
George Washington was asked to run for a third term in office and declined because he felt we would wind up with a government like England with a King at the head of government. He therefore set a precedent of only two terms in office. This was followed until FDR and he was elected for four terms. Thereafter there was introduced an amendment to the constitution limiting presidential terms to two.
