When did FDR announce he was running a 3rd time, and was there any outrage?

Question

When did President Franklin Roosevelt announce he was running again for a 3rd term? And was there any shock or outrage at this? Another way of saying this: Most of the country was isolationist. Therefore, if the war in Europe is heating up, why tolerate a hawk for a 3rd term?

Answer 1

FDR announced his running for a third term in July of 1940, just as the U.S was about to enter into World War 2. This decision to run for a third term took over his election campaign against republican Wendell Wilkie. FDR won the election and was even able to win a fourth election in 1944.

people believed that more than 2 terms was a threat to democracy. So In March of 1947, congress which was republican controlled approved the 22^nd Amendment however it took up until February of 1951 to get enough U.S states to ratify the amendment.
