According to AOC, Congress amended the Constitution to prevent FDR from being re-elected:
"They had to amend the Constitution of the United States to make sure Roosevelt dd not get reelected."
(Reminder, FDR died in office in 1945; the 22nd Amendment came in 1947)

Brilliant.
Was Roosevelt a big reason for the interest in passing the 22nd Amendment?
Did the effort to limit presidents to two terms begin before FDRs death?
Are you guys this pathetically nit picky with the dumbest president the country’s ever seen, Trump?
