In the 1950s, American Presidents were limited to 2 terms, as a response to Frank Roosevelt staying in office for 4 terms. What if this didn’t happen? Which presidents do you think would have gotten a third term?
nah, he'd still be likeliest.Not after the Lewinsky scandal
“I can’t keep it in my pants but you should let me run your country!”nah, he'd still be likeliest.
I don't think Americans would have refused to vote for Clinton because of the Monica Lewinsky saga. Especially given how the GOP handled it.“I can’t keep it in my pants but you should let me run your country!”

You are making the mistake of ascribing 2019 attitudes to 1999-2000. That was a different time.Wouldn’t people worry about another Clinton Sex Scandal if he got a third term?

1999-2000 was way before #MeToo. And Bill Clinton was a man, not a woman.Weren’t sexual things more taboo then? I was still in diapers when the Lewinsky thing happened, so I don’t remember

Out of all post-Roosevelt Presidents? Probably Clinton. MAYBE Truman or Eisenhower but those are both huge maybes. Other than that, for most of the rest, it’s a miracle they served more than one term let alone three.
Edit: also in 2016 it’s almost a certain that if Obama could run a third time, he would, and he would win the nomination fairly easily. Whether or not he would win re-election is up to debate, though I’d argue he would. Just by the smallest margin of victory of his three elections.
Great point! Forgot about that entirely. Maybe not Truman then.Truman could have run anyway; he was specifically exempted by the 22nd Amendment. https://www.alternatehistory.com/fo...its-never-existed.425534/page-2#post-15582099
Reagan.Clinton is the likeliest possibility.
