Ooops, I mean the only thing they CAN'T do is succeed themself twice.

Could they (in theory) serve one term, be voted out or resign and then run for another term at a later time? Has that ever happened?
Also, why do you have this rule about serving only two terms? Seems a bit daft if you've got a really good President who's popular & doing well to have to retire him and take on an new guy.
Well technically they can succeed themselves twice but only under special circumstances.
If they have served a partial term that is less than two years(think Ford replacing Nixon or LBJ succeeding Kennedy.) then they can serve two normal terms as well. If however they serve over two years in a partial term then they get only one shot at re-election.
I beg to differ. Im succeeded myself twice in one day before.
