    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

    my comment is hard to process in one sentence so here's a timeline:

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