What was so special about the 1940 presidential election? It was the first time an independent candidate won the election. It was the first time the son of a former president was elected. It was the first time a person had been elected president three times. It was the first time in more than forty years that a Democrat was elected.

Answer 1

Answer:

The 1940 presidential election was the first time a person had been elected president three times.

Explanation:

The Presidential Election of 1940 took place on November 5, 1940. The outgoing President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Democratic candidate, broke with the tradition of not competing for a third term, which became a major issue of this election. Republican candidate Wendell Willkie, a near-unknown, led an energetic campaign but could not avoid Roosevelt's comfortable re-election. The latter would win the election for a fourth term in 1944.

Subsequently, the ratification of the XXIIth Amendment of the United States Constitution in 1951 made it impossible for the future to apply for a third term.

Answer 2

- "It was the first time a person had been elected president three times." Hope this helps:)
