    The 22nd amendment was created because of Roosevelt. There was no “special dispensation,” he simply broke the two term tradition.

    • Interesting. I thought the 22nd was a strengthening of an existing rule. I’m aware Washington turned down a third term despite broad popularity of him continuing, but I thought presidential term limits were enacted prior to Roosevelt but were not strong enough to prevent a third term.
