Do You Think the Argument That "One Should Not Change

question 94

Essay

Do you think the argument that "one should not change horses in the middle of a stream" is sufficient to justify Franklin Roosevelt's breaking the two-term tradition in 1940? Do you think anyone should be allowed to serve more than two terms in the presidency? Why or why not? Why do you believe Congress passed and the states ratified the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution in 1951 limiting a president to being elected to two terms in office?
