it means if someone has been in office for say 3 terms and then there's a law saying a person can only have 2 terms then the 3 terms before the law was passed don't count and that someone can still do 2 more terms

a person serves 3 terms
a term limit law is passed
first 3 terms don't count so the person still gets to stay for 2 more terms

Were the term limits enacted AFTER Morales went in government?
Yes
