Then FDR completes his fourth term.

Does he try for a fifth?
I'd imagine a 1948 run would be complicated by the Cold War, with Republicans accusing him of selling out Eastern Europe via Yalta and other wartime agreements.

With the Great Depression and WWII over, a lot of voters would probably feel that a fifth term would be overstaying his welcome.

I still think he'd win, but it would be his last term.

Jefferson apparently considered Andrew Jackson unfit for the Presidency and a "dangerous man." I wonder if Jefferson would have publicly criticized President Jackson.

I'd also wonder what Jackson would think of the 1860 election and the Civil War.
