What if the 22nd amendment – which limits how many times a president can be elected – was never ratified?

In the mid-1940s, after FDR was elected to four terms, many of those running in the midterms campaigned on the amendment idea. But where would our country be if that hadn’t happened? Would Eisenhower or Reagan have served longer terms? Would Bill Clinton be the one who dealt with 9/11?

Chuck is joined by presidential historian Alexis Coe, author of “You Never Forget Your First” about George Washington. She is currently writing a book about young John F. Kennedy, spanning from 1917 to 1957.
