Маленькая правка конституции США.
savage: Итак допустим что в конституцию США в самом начале был внесён один дополнительный параграф. Параграф этот гласил, что ни один человек не может быть президентом США более 2-х раз. До 1940 года этим параграфом никто не пользовался. И вот на выборах 1940 года побеждает.... А кто собственно это будет?
Sergey-M: ну в чем равилка то? этот праграф был внесен в годы президентства Гранта и был нарушен в 1940 году.

Pasha: 22nd Amendment Since the presidency of George Washington, only one thing could be said to be totally consistent - that no President had the job for more than two full terms. Washington had been asked to run for a third term in 1796, but he made it quite clear that he had no intention of doing so; that an orderly transition of power was needed to set the Constitution in stone. And so it was for almost 150 years. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was first elected President in 1932, and re-elected in 1936. When it came time for the Democrats to nominate a candidate for the Presidency in 1940, two things had happened. First, the Republicans had made great gains in Congress in the 1938 elections. And Hitler happened. Europe was in the throes of a great war, with trouble in the Pacific, too. A change away from Roosevelt, who had led the nation through the Great Depression, did not seem wise. He was nominated for an unprecedented third term, and won. It was not a landslide victory, however, and it is debatable that FDR would have had a third term had it not been for the war. When 1944 rolled around, changing leaders in the middle of World War II, which the United States was now fully engaged in, also seemed unwise, and FDR ran for and was elected to, a fourth term. His life was nearly over, however, and his Vice President, Harry Truman, became President upon FDR's death less than 100 days after his inauguration. Though FDR's leadership was seen by many as a key reason that the U.S. came out of WWII victorious, the Congress was determined, once the war ended, to ensure that Washington's self-imposed two-term limit become the law of the land. Specifically excepting Truman from its provisions, the 22nd Amendment passed Congress on March 21, 1947. After Truman won a second term in 1948, it was ratified on February 27, 1951 (1,439 days). Truman could have run for a third term, but bowed out early before campaigning began.
Modo: Бип. Неужто Тафт?

Panzer: Джо Стил!!! :)))
Ортанс: Pasha пишет: Тогда уж Уилки. Да, тем более, что Рузвельт считал его ОЧЕНЬ перспективным политиком и полагал, что в будущем тот станет великим президентом. Правда, Уилки умер в войну. Так что стоит подумать, а что дальше?
