No, it went through so quickly was FDR. He was making noise about a 4th term because of WW2. His body wasn't even cold before Congress voted in term limits. If FDR had a heart attack. Damn good thing
too. No one should have 12 years. Look at how much debt Obama has put us in in just 1 term.
Uh- Roosevelt was elected to a 4th term!
And he died over a year into his 4th term, in 1945, from a brain aneurism, not a heart attack.
The 22nd amendment passed through Congress in 1947 and was ratified by the states in 1951. Roosevelt had been dead for 2 years before the amendment was even considered, and was ratified 10 months before the 1952 election.
Roosevelt did not want the 4th term, but he was pressured by his party and by public support to seek it. People did not want him to leave while the war was still going on, and 1944 was the watershed year of the war in Europe.
Grant, Garfield, and Cleveland all sought a 3rd term and all lost the nomination. Washington declined to run a 3rd term.
Stop making friggin excuses, and Obama has done nothing to fix the economy either. And he sure as hell does not have a problem with spending, now does he.
4 more years of Obama, you people you supporters, really want this Country going over the cliff now don't you.
Time for this lying administration to pack it's bags, and take Obama with them.
Just think though some of you, if Obama should come in by some chance, and the Country is screwed even worse then we now are, He can blame himself! imagine that concept. I can see it now.
After all the damage Bush did to the economy I doubt there is anyway the "Messiah" can fix it in only 8 years. He's going to need more time. Would you support amending the constitution so Obama can run for a third term in 2016?
I'm afraid Obama could have done far more good for the economy of this country if he'd had some kind of idea just what needed/needs to be done. The way he's going, he won't be doing any more good even if he has 5 terms.
But, an even larger problem is that Romney isn't any better.
When exactly was he impeached ? I'm pretty sure the fake case folded on itself, and just showed everyone how the republican party is the party of big spending and waste.
Whatever History, Social Studies and/or Civic teachers you had since 1998 failed you. But honestly, unless you are less than 14 years old, this happened in your lifetime. How did you miss such a unique event in our history?

how old are you ? are you still in grade school ?
check history, not the democrat version, but the truth.
the illustrious bill "i did not have sex with that woman" clinton WAS impeached for lying under oath.
