---------------I never liked they changed it after FDR


and so this means that you essentially admit that you were WRONG, ConfedSS?

Whether you like it or not, IT AIN'T Happenin'

Do you understand how UNIQUE 1940 was?

NO President, following the precedent of the FIRST President, George Washington, sought a term beyond TWO.

FDR was viewed largely as a hero for his efforts to restore hope and helping the working man and those wanting to work during the Great Depression. In 1940, the Clouds of War were over Europe and there was the perceived need for continued stable leadership at a time of great Calamity (that did indeed come about).

Background and information:

Ironically, Republicans wound up leading the effort to enact the 22nd Amendment, beginning in 1946 when they regained the House. It was largely as a response to the unprecedented four terms won by FDR, who served during the Great Depression and World War II, from 1933 until 1945.

FDR broke the two-term norm, his supporters argued, because of the need for consistent leadership through World War II. But setting a term limit on the presidency became one of Republicans' first priorities after his death.

Some Democrats saw the push as an insult to FDR's memory. But there were also many who were growing concerned that FDR had set a dangerous precedent. They argued that the amendment was "not an undemocratic restraint upon the popular will, but a democratic restraint upon any future, dangerously ambitious demagogue," according to Stathis' paper.

After lengthy negotiations — notably about whether the limit should be two four-year terms or one six-year term — the 22nd Amendment eventually passed Congress in 1947. And it was with the help of some strange bedfellows.

Republicans, many of whom were motivated by FDR's presidency and others concerned about safeguarding democracy,...."

if the shoe fits or if it quacks like a duck and walk like a duck, it's still fascism


I noticed that: pee rat mixed up TWO metaphors and ends up with.....? NOTHING except:
Looking more silly than his cousins, the Lab Rats.

Keep up the Good Work, pee rat. :roll: :roll: You look sillier with every post and every video. You have proven that you cannot have an intelligent discussion without resorting to posting a video. The Cat must have cut out part of your tongue, since you can say so little, nothing worthwhile, and almost ALL of it is simple drivel. LOSER.

ConfedSS does not seem to appreciate or understand the IMPACT of the 22nd Amendment. Trump CANNOT run again, no matter what he says or wishes or whatever "some of his supporters" may wish or say.

There is NOT enough time for such a bill to REPEAL the 22nd Amendment passes, and there IS NO SUCH guarantee (based on the narrow margins in both the House and Senate, AND it needs 2/3 approval of BOTH Houses) and 3/4 of the states to ALSO approve, this will not happen before November 2028.

Trump is too polarizing and too divisive a figure for such a repeal of the 22nd Amendment to occur.

As I already posted: IT AIN'T Happening.
