| On the final morning of his presidency, Ronald Reagan looks back into the oval office one last time. Later, in their final moments as First Couple, Ronald and Nancy Reagan wait alone on the State Floor of the White House for the arrival of president-elect George H.W. Bush and his wife, Barbara. Reagan served two full terms as president, which had not been accomplished since Eisenhower's administration. |

| George Washington started out the presidency by serving two four-year terms, and no president sought more than two until Franklin Roosevelt--who was elected to a third term in 1940 and a fourth in 1944. The Twenty-Second Amendment was then ratified in 1951, limiting the time a president can be in office to two terms. |
