Which of the following statements about Presidential terms of office is NOT correct: George Washington set a powerful example – giving up Presidential power after two terms. No other President has ever defied Washington’s example, and all have stepped down after one or two terms. One President (Franklin Roosevelt) defied Washington’s example and ran for the office and was elected four times. The Constitution has been amended to place a limit of two terms on any President.

Your thoughts?

deathsindragon:

the 3rd?

jimthompson5910:

Franklin Roosevelt, aka FDR, was elected 4 times. So that means we can rule out choice C. Despite him winning the 4th election, he died shortly after being elected and his VP Harry Truman became president.

deathsindragon:

ok, maybe b?

jimthompson5910:

Yes choice B is correct. The fact that C true immediately leads to B being false.

deathsindragon:
