Governor term limits

Governor term limits are rules that restrict how long an individual can serve as a state's governor. In the United States, many states impose limits, often allowing governors to serve two consecutive terms, while others may have different configurations. The intention behind these limits is to promote political fairness, encourage fresh leadership, and prevent the accumulation of too much power in one individual. Once a governor reaches the term limit, they cannot run for reelection until a specified period has passed, which varies by state.
