I learned a lot, too! Especially why the 22nd amendment was ratified! Now, we need to limit the terms of Congress and the Senate. It’s virtually impossible but still a nice thought! They’ll never vote to sunset themselves. There is too much money to be made from graft and corruption!
Excellent article. It should be read. I’m a history geek but even I learned some things from this article.
