An innovative historical study of the longstanding debate over executive term limits in American politics . . . By successfully seeking a third term in 1940, Franklin D. Roosevelt shattered a tradition that was as old as the American republic. The longstanding yet controversial twoterm tradition reflected serious tensions in American political values.In Presidential Term Limits in American History, Michael J. Korzi recounts the history of the twoterm tradition as well as the perfect storm that enabled Roosevelt to break with that tradition. He also shows that Roosevelt and his close supporters made critical errors of judgment in 194344, particularly in seeking a fourth term against long odds that the ill president would survive it. Korzis analysis offers a strong challenge to Roosevelt biographers who have generally whitewashed this aspect of his presidency and decision making. The case of Roosevelt points to both the drawbacks and the benefits of presidential term limits. Furthermore, Korzis extended consideration of the seldomstudied Twentysecond Amendment and its passage reveals not only vindictive and political motivations (it was unanimously supported by Republicans), but also a sincere distrust of executive power that dates back to Americas colonial and constitutional periods.
