High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Term limits apply to many offices at both the federal and state level in the United States. In the U.S. term limits date back to the American Revolution. Term limits, or rotation in office, date back to the American Revolution, and prior to that to the democracies and republics of antiquity.
