After Franklin D. Roosevelt had served four terms as president, the Twenty-second Amendment to the Constitution was enacted, limiting future presidents to two 4-year terms. U.S. senators are elected for six-year terms, and they can be reelected to that office indefinitely.
What was the effect of the Twenty-second Amendment?
In 1919, the Eighteenth Amendment was passed making the manufacture, transport, and sale of alcoholic beverages illegal (including beer and wine). However, in spite of the amendment, a great deal of liquor was illegally manufactured, transported, sold, and consumed during the Prohibition Era. (In fact, that era is known as the “Roaring 20s.”) Large well-organized groups of violent criminals profited greatly from this illegal activity. Meanwhile, thegovernment lost the revenues it formerly collected by taxing alcohol. It didn’t take long for Americans to realize that the Eighteenth Amendment hadn’t worked as had been hoped, and in 1933, the Twenty-first Amendment repealed the Eighteenth Amendment.
