Question

President Franklin D. Roosevelt is the only U.S. president elected for more than two terms. Did the special circumstances of the war justify this deviation from precedent?

Answer 1

Franklin D. Roosevelt was justified to run for more then two terms because at the time world war 2 had just begun and during the election the United States was having a Great Depression. Timing was the excuse, these two problems justified Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 3rd re-election
