FDR did such a good job that a Constitutional amendment was passed restricting persons to two terms as president, proving that on occasion the American public does learn from their mistakes.

Correction, they made a mistake by passing the two-term limit. If that hadn't existed, we could have kept the President who balanced the budget. We could have kept Clinton instead of getting Dubya who started two unnecessary wars and passed an unfunded Medicare prescription drug benefit, throwing the budget way out of balance. We would have been better off keeping Clinton. The two-term limit was just a gimmick. We should get rid of it or at least change it to three.
