AH Challenge: Have Bill Clinton Elected to at Least 3 Terms as President

Repeal is borderline ASB. No way in hell do you get 38 of 50 to ratify, or get it through a Republican Congress that in some cases would vote for Satan over Clinton even if Clinton was endorsed by Jesus Christ himself. The only way to get rid of the 22nd is to have it never proposed or fail ratification.
What he said.

Oh, I suppose that some totally different TL might have a repeal of the 22nd, at some point (especially in a dictatorial US TL), but no such TL will have Bill Clinton be president.
 
There was an unwritten rule against a third term already, FDR broke that tradition and in many ways the 22nd amendment was a reaction to that. As for Clinton's third term without the 22nd, the problem there is butterflies. Without the 22nd it's entirely possible that Clinton would never be President in the first place, or would be so unpopular as to not merit a third term ect.

It was a reaction to a perceived Democratic dominance post FDR and Truman and ironically it has led to Republican dominance.
 
His third term would probably be an unpopular one. The economy was entering recession and he would cop the blame given his long tenure, he would also suffer some blame for not preventing 9/11. And his plans to invade Iraq would have gone threw, just as they did under Bush.

So all in all a very good thing for Clinton's legacy that he didn't win a third term.


I'm not sure we would have a 9/11 with Clinton winning a third-term. he did seem to take Osama Bin-Laden more seriously when he was in office than Bush did at the start of his Presidency.
 
He would never win a third election he had too many black marks against him . And a lot of the undecided would of vote against him . He had become a laughing stock to many Americans as did his wife . For a while there a blow job was call a Bill Clinton .

It was already planned prior to Bush's election.

Didn't he have a 60% approval rating by the end of his presidency?
