  1. No 22nd Amendment

    How would a removal of the 22nd Amendment impact our history? Prior to FDR, all Presidents followed the 2-term tradition. Then, in 1947 the 22nd Amendment limiting a President to 2 terms was passed. Although technically Truman could run again in OTL, he backed out after getting stomped in...
