To go into a what-if, what if Ulysses Grant or Teddy Roosevelt seeking 3rd terms won them earlier. Would the amendment have come into being earlier or would it not have and as we come to FDR serving a 3rd term there would've already been presidents that broke the two-term convention and it would not be seen as a negative?
My initial thought is a Grant 3rd term would've probably led to the amendment coming into being. Like a lot of the recent political norms that have been broken, once you break something once, it's a lot easier to break it again, and I think the Congress of the late 1940s thought that.
