couldn't beat him in an election so they changed the game. That's awesome in my book.

FDR died in office in 1945. The 22nd amendment wasn't introduced and passed until 1947. It was fully ratified in 1951.

They didn't change it to keep him out of office, they determined after his presidency that nobody should hold office for that long..prior to him it was kind of an unwritten rule that nobody served more than 2 terms.
