Wasn't FDR elected for three terms?

And as a result, the 22nd Amendment came about.


A bill like that is submitted almost every year. Seems this Serrano guy is the latest Rep to hop on that bandwagon.

WTF? Nixon was reelected to a second term in 1972, and impeached in 1974. Watergate ring a bell?

FYI, we lost in Vietnam.

True John, he did resign in disgrace. It was almost certain he wouldve been removed from office.

I dont read watchmen. Did see the movie. What does that have to do with reality?

Actually, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected to the Presidency four (4) times.

But, there was a former President, also elected four times to National Office, that served longer than FDR.

Guess who?

Its about as close to reality as this article being repealed?
