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
The amendment was introduced in 1947. There was a Republican Congress at the time--Congress was not "dominated by dems." And if I'm not mistaken, the amendment was unanimously supported by Republicans but by only a minority of Democrats (I'm talking about in Congress here)--strongly indicating that partisanship played a big role.
