A Day to Celebrate

On February 27, 1951 the 22nd amendment to the US Constitution was ratified. After electing and re-electing FDR 4 times, the citizens of the US decided to have Presidential term limits.

It took from 1947 until 1951 to follow the entire amendment process - but the 22nd amendment passed all the hurdles and was ratified today!!

Because of this amendment, Presidents are limited to 2 terms - and that's a good thing!
