I think Theodore White wrote that Eisenhower probably would have run for President again in 1960 if he could have. Ike loved being President and despite what the popular history claimed in the 60s/70s he was quite good at being President. Hmmm, I think there is potential for a timeline here.
US presidencies without 22th Amendment
- Thread starter Dr. No
- Start date
I don't remember that. Was it in 2015, or the alternate 1985? if it was in 1985, that would have been the same as Watchmen.Just remembered that in Back to the Future 2 Nixon seeks a fifth term
Um, I'm not saying 4-term Reagan would be a great thing (especially with his fourth term probably dealing with full blown Alzheimer's) but 4-term Clinton wouldn't be that great either.
The only real stuff Clinton passed was in 1993-4 (aside from the dubious quality of welfare reform) and he spent the next six years just doing whatever it took to keep himself in power as the Democratic Party collapsed (House, Senate, Governors, state legislatures) among vast amounts of his own self (or Hillary) inflicted scandals that gave Republicans a chance to blow them way out of proportion.
Going from 6 to 14 years of of Clinton being in survival mode with consequent lack of morals and mostly co-opted Republican legislation being passed doesn't sound like much of a utopia to me.
Umm, just what planet are you from? FDR was one of the best presidents the USA ever had! I'd like to see anyone else do as well durring the great depression! If regan where in charge, the USA would be a third world country, and the nazis would be ruling most of europe.
Actually, FDR stayed in power too long. His health was giving out even as he ran for a fourth term. He was all to trusting of Stalin(it wasn't until 1944 that he began to realize that Stalin was not America's Friend and was as bad as Hitler). Also FDR failed to bring Truman into the decision making process and to make sure that he was briefed on everything that was going on.
