So I just got done with a biography of John Nance Garner, and apparently FDR almost ran for a third term in 1940. He had a LOT of misgivings about if Garner was up for the job. But he had a heart-to-heart with Garner and decided to endorse him for the Presidency in 1940, carrying on the tradition of stepping aside after serving two terms. Of course, Garner naming FDR Secretary of State didn't hurt.
What if FDR had decided to run again? Would the American people would have elected him again? Would he have been up for more of the job, especially given his health issues at the time?
