Franklin wrote the 22nd amendment
(I do not agree with this answer. See below)
Talk about a presidential term-limits amendment started in 1944, when Republican candidate Thomas Dewey said a potential 16-year term for Roosevelt was a threat to democracy.
In March 1947, a Republican-controlled Congress approved a 22nd Amendment, with an exception that would exclude a president in office from term limits during the ratification process.
It took until February 1951 to get enough states to ratify the amendment, and President Harry Truman decided to opt against running for a third term.
Since then, some members of Congress have introduced efforts to repeal the 22ndAmendment, but they haven't made it out of committee.
