I believe FDR did 4 terms; 1933-1945. It has been proposed numerous times to repeal that amendment and is gaining ground in many areas.

I'm unsure but from that fact I think it was because by the time his second term was up it was World War 2, Bad idea to switch governments in that time. This is something that is worrying many of us Europeans, What happens if the the United States is "Officially" at war with a country during an election year?

"Official" as in there has been a formal declaration of war, unlike the situation in Iraq.
