Except that folks were happy to keep voting for him, which hardly makes Roosevelt evil or unsavory for doing what the law allowed, whether you like him or not.

Until the 22nd Amendment, there was no restriction of any kind. In 1947, the amendment was proposed because, "By reason of the lack of a positive expression upon the subject of the tenure of the office of President, and by reason of a well-defined custom which has risen in the past that no President should have more than two terms in that office, much discussion has resulted upon this subject. Hence it is the purpose of this . . . [proposal] . . . to submit this question to the people so they, by and through the recognized processes, may express their views upon this question, and if they shall so elect, they may . . . thereby set at rest this problem."

Custom, as defined by some, not law. No point in villifying Roosevelt.

As for returning Clinton to office... why make that mistake again? I'm sure we can vote in a whole new mistake.
