The 22nd Amendment was passed after Truman was elected, so it did not apply to him. (ex post facto)
He was eligible but chose not to run.
“I *am* insane. Utterly.”
As a farmboy growing up I had to milk the cow. I’m sure you can guess the outcome.
Udder disaster.
You’re right, I’m in a fog but the other side is that many presidents chose not to run for a third term, FDR broke the tradition of not doing so, had Truman run again it would have been essentially running for a third term since FDR died so early in his last term.
What also matters is who will win the House. These horrible, leftists democrats will stop at nothing to keep power and bankrupt our country. Just look at the $3 trillion bill the leftist democrats just passed on a party line vote in the House.
They will eventually come to murder us, folks and stop kidding yourself that democrats would not do it. They are the party of murdering babies. Do you think they would hesitate one second to murder you or I if they knew they could get away with it?
