Franklin Roosevelt was the impetus that passed the 22nd amendment. He ignored Washington's precedent and ran for a third and even a fourth term.
He lobbied Congress to pass the "Pure Food and Drug Act" of 1906, which established the FDA. This helped protect consumers from dangerous foods and drugs.
The Lend-Lease act was a treaty of sorts that granted the United States the ability to lease to the Allied Nations materials needed for the war. This proposal was met with great disapproval by Congress and President Roosevelt had a hard time selling his point. He believed however that this act would make America the "arsenal of Democracy".
Congress cannot pass laws that favor one state over another. The goal of Congress is to pass fair and lawful laws.
