It is often agreed by Historians that if their was no 22nd amendment, then Dwight Eisenhower could have one a third term in 1960. FDR of course had been elected to four terms as president, so maybe he could have broken the idea that a President should only serve two terms.

Now, some people argue, the Eisenhower was neither healthy enough to run for a third term, or that he didin't want it. But the Rebuplicans might have convinced him.

So if he could have, would he have run for a third term?
How would he have faired in the debates against Kennedy?
Would Kennedy have even gotten the Nomination, if the Democrats knew what he would be up against?

And if he does win, how will his third term effect the rest of American History? (the Cuban Missle Crisis was just around the bend, as well as the Veitnam War and the Civil Right Movement)
