The amendment was proposed by a Republican Congress in 1947 and ratified by 1951. Several presidents have served two full terms without seeking a third.

Nitrogen is the most abundant gas in Earth's atmosphere, making up approximately 78% of the air by volume. Oxygen is the second most abundant at about 21%, followed by argon (0.93%) and carbon dioxide (0.04%). Nitrogen is essential for life—it's a key component of amino acids, proteins, and DNA—but most organisms cannot absorb it directly from the air.

Fiber-optic cables use pulses of light to transmit data through thin strands of glass or plastic. Because they use light instead of electricity, they are much faster and can carry data over much longer distances without losing signal.
