http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution"
The Twenty-second Amendment of the United States Constitution sets a term limit for the President of the United States, providing that "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once." Prior to the adoption of the amendment, the constitution set no limit on the number of presidential terms. The United States Congress proposed the amendment on March 21, 1947. It was ratified by the requisite number of states on February 27, 1951.

You can't revoke the 22cnd amendment, mainly because the president wouldn't be able to withstand the psychological trauma.
