The Twenty‐second Amendment was proposed by Congress in 1947 and adopted in 1951. It limited presidents to two elected terms, even in war time.

War time is irrelevant. The Constitution spells out 2 terms or 10 years. Lyndon Johnson could have served another term if he had been elected for a total of a little over 9 years.

A president can serve a maximum of ten years, and be elected twice. The Constitution makes no distinction for time of war or peace.
However, since (according to Liberals) Bush wasn't actually elected in the first place, he could run again and serve two years of another term.

War changes nothing- A president may only serve two terms regardless.

War doesn't matter. The Constitution does. And you are limited to TWO terms. Period.

2 terms.
Always 2 terms, ever since the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution was passed after FDR.
