WI: Greater U.S. Presidential power limits?

This thread suggests Jefferson was upset at Washington running for even a second term. WI there had been a ban on a second term from the beginning? Or perhaps a third term, instead? (Yes, "no third term" means FDR is shut down, obviously.) I'm wondering more about PotUS behavior: does he act in a less-cautious manner, knowing he can't run again anyhow?:eek:

Beyond that, what limits did Jefferson imagine should have been placed on the Executive Branch that weren't OTL? Would they have prevented today's "imperial presidency"?
