Actually a person can only serve 10 years max as president. 2 years maximum in succession of a president and 2 elected terms.
Amendment 22 was passed because noone wanted a president to serve like FDR did 4 consecutive terms (although he died in early in his 4th).
Even George Washington when he stepped down said that no man should serve more than 8 years.
