a few days ago I listened to that town hall AOC did with Chris Hayes and when she said the Republicans passed a constitutional amendment to stop FDR from being reelected I was like, "I hope nobody heard that."

xp she was right.
the amendment that capped presidents at two terms was proposed while FDR was in his second term but not passed until after he died. so it didn't stop him. but that was the intention.

dude the Republicans were in the minority in 1944. They passed the amendment in 1947 after winning majorities in house and senate.
― We were never Breeting Borting (President Keyes), Tuesday, 2 April 2019 19:47 (four years ago) link
yes, GOP regained Congress for the first time since the Hoover years. Truman was exempt from the amendment.

She misspoke. I have no doubt that she knows when FDR died and when the amendment was passed, just like I know 100% that Barack Obama doesn't think there really is 54 states.
But like Neil Armstrong forgetting the difference between "man" and "mankind," she misspoke. It's dumb of the right-wingers to run off with it, but let's not pretend that what she literally said was fact.
― pplains, Tuesday, 2 April 2019 19:49 (four years ago) link
xxp it also specifically exempted the sitting president at the time of proposal or passage and applied only to future presidents. So she was right for the wrong reasons -- it was definitely a reaction to Roosevelt's third and fourth terms, but would not have stopped him from having them because he would have been grandfathered in.

People aren’t walking wikipedias. The general point is that republicans moved to impose term limits as a reaction to FDR’s popularity

The thing is, like most normal people, she accepts corrections or amends her statements. She doesn't double down and try to rewrite history.

can AOC serve four term? If so, THEN she can talk.

yes, she doubled down
Hey Rep. Cheney,I see from your dead people comment that you get your news from Facebook memes, but the National Constitution Center + Newsweek are just two of many places where you can clarify your misunderstanding of the history of the 22nd Amendment: https://t.co/Je6mHFJ687 https://t.co/np1XtgLpm1— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) April 1, 2019

It’s an incredibly dumb controversy
― Trϵϵship, Tuesday, 2 April 2019 20:04 (four years ago) link
well passing an Amendment in 1947 to stop FDR from being re-elected shows that they really hated that dude
― We were never Breeting Borting (President Keyes), Tuesday, 2 April 2019 20:05 (four years ago) link
she got it wrong, it's an understandable mistake, the 22nd was clearly targeted at FDR and his legacy, but insisting that she actually got it right based on a strained reading of history is not a great strategy
