FDR served 3 or 4 terms? this is what confuses me. i mean, i guess it could happen. it would have to take an imminent (or is it eminent, i know Trump got that word wrong recently) threat to even justify it. so that's what it would take for a US president to serve a 3rd term. the end of the world.
i don't think any president would do it because it killed FDR. i think.

Two years after FDR’s death, Congress passed the 22nd Amendment, limiting presidents to two terms. Then amendment was then ratified in 1951.

i don't agree with being friends with Stalin because you need the russians to sacrifice 30 million of their people to defeat Hitler. which obviously opened up a can of worms and Russia became a problem for the next 80 years.
it just seems to me that if they did it because of FDR, you did it because you were against a president that helped solve the world's problems. and you'd rather limit it to 2 terms and hope the world can't solve it's problems in 8 years. so the people that voted for the 22nd amendment did it because they prefer anarchy and chaos and never ending elections.
at this point i think a prefer a monarchy.

Originally posted by nullnor View Postso timing it makes no sense. why limit a president to 2 terms after FDR. did they do it because of FDR? if so did they do it because it contributed to his poor health and they liked him. or did they do it because they disagreed with him?

As for a monarchy, I am not against a constitutional one in which the monarch plays no overt political role, but picking who would be the monarch, and how the succession would occur, would be an incredible can of worms. think about it--would you REALLY want the monarch to be the son or daughter of any of our recent Presidents or an inherited-status member of one of our "leading families"?Only the madman is absolutely sure. -Robert Anton Wilson, novelist (1932-2007)
Faith is believing what you know ain't so. -Mark Twain, author and humorist (1835-1910)
A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.
