AOC: Republicans Had To Amend The Constitution To Make Sure FDR Didn’t Get Re-Elected

[CrusaderFrank]

22nd Amendment of the Constitution

Four years later, Roosevelt faced Republican Thomas E. Dewey in the 1944 election. Near the end of the campaign, Thomas Dewey announced his support of a constitutional amendment that would limit future presidents to two terms. According to Dewey, "four terms, or sixteen years (a direct reference to the president's tenure in office four years hence), is the most dangerous threat to our freedom ever proposed."[13] He also discreetly raised the issue of the president's age. Roosevelt, however, was able to exude enough energy and charisma to retain the confidence of the American public, who reelected him to a fourth term.[14]

While he effectively quelled rumors of his poor health during the campaign, Roosevelt's health was in reality deteriorating. On April 12, 1945, only 82 days after his fourth inauguration, he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and died. He was succeeded by Vice President Harry Truman.[15] In the midterm elections 18 months later, Republicans took control of both the House and the Senate. As many of them had campaigned on the issue of presidential tenure, declaring their support for a constitutional amendment that would limit how long a person could serve as president, the issue was given top priority in the 80th Congress when it convened in January 1947.[7]

Facts are less important than saving the planet

Only if truth is a defence.

 

[Claudette]

And the Great Society and the Civil Rights Act were passed in the '60s. That woman has to be the stupidest person in Congress (with the possible exception of this idiot):

Well she proves her stupidity every time she opens her mouth.

What a fucking dingbat.

 

[Kondor3]

Snicker...

 

[Darkwind]

She defanatly dumb as a box of rocks.

However, let Me ask you people something.


How many times was FDR elected, and how many think that it is very possible he would have kept getting elected until he died?

The fact that he died before the passage of the Amendment does not mean that his continued reelection wasn't the reason they came up with the Amendment.

Let's all try to not be contrarian for the sake of being contrary.

Truth is she's dumber than Dan Quayle and Sarah Palin on their worst days.

Thankfully, she's your Thought Leader

Hey, remember when progs would brag that you guys were "intellectuals"?

 

[TNHarley]

If she is wrong about this maybe she is wrong about the death of the planet.
Maybe its 8 years

 

[BluesLegend]

Should someone this ignorant be allowed to vote on important legislation?

Damn Pukes keeping the dead from being President!

22nd was passed two years after he died in office.

As MSM keeps reminding us - she’s the New Democratic Party.

Twitter

/----/ Well, if the dead can vote - why can't they run for president?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

She's no dumber than the ones who believe that FDRs 2 terms of 20% unemployment and then letting Uncle Joe direct the US war effort makes him "great" let alone "the greatest"

What a joke!

What we have is CRCs and trumpanzees looking for something, anything to counteract the daily stupidity of tiny donnie.

You mean the Liberal media is NOT focused on her and promoting as the de facto leader of the democrat Party?

This ignorance is typical of the monied political elite. There should be an investigation to see if her parents bribed her into collage.

 

[The Original Tree]

Democrats can vote to allow President Trump to run for a third term, any day now, if AOC doesn't like current law.
