Would it have existed in 1951? Nah. It was clearly a reaction of FDR overreaching in the eyes of many lawmakers. That said, the subsequent list of American presidents would have been different, and I'm sure during the 2nd half of the 20th century, at least one prez would have sought a 3rd term, perhaps even a 4th.
Even if we keep the actual list, I sure think Nixon would have run for the 3rd term in 1976 without Watergate. Clinton may have run in 2000, too. Eisenhower and Reagan would have retired for age reasons, W due to low approvals and Obama because he had enough.
