No--it was a Republican vendetta against FDR. 

Wrong, Congress and state government were dominated by dems at the time, to get 2/3 of Congress and 3/4 of states you needed more than vengeful republicans

Also the 22nd amendment does more than 2 term limit, it sets the order of succession

I stand corrected about Congress my bad, but you still needed quite a few dem states to ratify it, it wasn’t solely republicans
