2010 Term Limit/8 Year Cap On Governor
Despite Henry's popular high job approval ratings and avoidance of controversy, in 2010 Oklahoma voters approved an additional term limit (for total length-of-time in office), in addition to the already-existing term limit for the number of terms served (2 consecutive ones). Now, the Governor can only serve a total of 8 years. This effectively prohibited Henry, then 47, from making a comeback attempt at a later date. source-Oklahoma State Election Board
