For FDR to try to become dictator even a temporary one events would need to be very different.
The supreme court strikes down most if not all of the legislation in the first 100 days.
Supreme court rules both federal income tax and the federal reserve unconstitutional.
With the rulings of the supreme court making impossible for FDR to take the measures he think are needed to save America for the depression or raise enough money for the budget , FDR declares a national emergency and moves to call a constitutional convention to write a new deal constitution and rid America of this horse and buggy constitution.
While this is happen the constitution is suspended and FDR become de-facto dictator until a new modern constitution is passed.
A new constitution for modern America.
The new constitution could take several years to agree and pass.
In the mean time FDR is de-facto dictator.
It would help it there was attack on the capital build with it being burnt down like the Reichstag fire.
or a bomb or bombs while congress is in session killing most of the house and senate and vp.
