        Most Americans I know think they’re centrists, even if they support either major party… I’m an American so I know a few Americans lol

        No, there’s an amendment in our consimtituion that says a president can only be in office for two terms total. The only president who evaded this was FDR and he’s still villainized to this day.

        Actually. I’m pretty sure hes the reason that amendment got passed.

          Before FDR it was just a tradition, started by George Washington. Personally I think FDR deserves a pass, he got us out of the great depression and through WW2, it would have been hard to have a leadership change in the midst of that turmoil.
