Best Answer

I am not sure that he was against it. It was proposed by Congress and ratified by the states before he was nominated or elected as President. New York , where he was governor was the second state to ratify it. It had little opposition and it would have been strange for him to speak out against it.

Why was Roosevelt against the 20th amendment?

This amendment was proposed before Roosevelt was nominated to run for President. New York where he was governor , ratified it 9 days after it was proposed. If Roosevelt was against it, he was not an effective opponent of it. The amendment had little opposition, so if he was against it at all, I suspect he kept quiet about his objection.
