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)

Note word choices: “Detractors” are “accusing her of fiddling with the facts.” While: “Some eagle eyed social media commenters” say she’s right.

But imagine if FDR had been re-elected after he died. That would have been like bad or something.

If we are going to be dead on accurate. The 22nd amendment was approved by Congress in 1947 and then presented to the States for ratification. At that time 36 states were required to ratify it. That happened in 1951, 7 yrs after FDR’s death. But

@AOC

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?
