Term limits are a restriction on the amount of terms someone may serve in a particular position. This may be elected or appointed members of a legislative or administrative body such as city council members, mayors, governors, members of a board of directors, or lawmakers. Every position has different “terms” meaning someone may hold that office for 1-, 2-, 4-, 6-, or 8-years or more before they are either reappointed or reelected for an additional term. A term limit means the amount of times they could be reappointed or reelected would be limited to 1-, 2-, 3- or more times. For instance, the Governor of Florida is elected for a 4-year term that is limited to two terms meaning he or she may only serve for a total of 8-years similar to the terms of the president of the United States.
