Wait...wasn't the 22nd Amendment passed in 1947? That would have been in the last term of FDR's Presidency had he lived right?
Wasn't it passed as a reaction to him being elected four times?
Definitely, although probably 3.
And there's an irony. FDR was personally and professionaly fine with the 1940 gop candidate Wilke, who had been a dem. Wilke was opposed to the pacifist non-interventionists, but he opposed parts of the New Deal he considered anti-business. After the election Wilke served as an FDR advisor and was point man on aid to Britain.
Ironically Wilke and his 1940 running mate McNary died in 1944, the same year as FDR. Had Wilke been healthy, FDR might not have felt compelled to run again, knowing that he was dying. And FDR axed Henry Wallace off the ticket for Truman, and Wallace was likely a Soviet asset, or at best friend.
AOC's whacky but amusingly she's right that it was to stop FDR keeping on keeping on.
But, Dewey in 1944? No Marshall Plan. Soviets in France?
