re: AOC "corrects" Liz Cheney

Was the 22nd amendment enacted before or after Roosevelt’s death?

the original legislation was drawn up before.

The 22nd Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Passed by the United States Congress on March 21, 1947

FDR died April 12, 1945

In the 1946 Midterm election Republicans ran on Limiting the Term of a President to 2 Terms. They won control of both the House and Senate.

AOC is incorrect because the Bill was submitted in January 1947

the 22nd Amendment was later ratified by the requisite number of states on the 27th of February in 1951.

The campaign to introduce a two-term limit on the U.S. presidency intensified after FDR's third and fourth elections in 1940 and 1944, giving rise to what ultimately became the 22nd Amendment in 1947. Those historical facts support what a spokesperson for Rep. Ocasio-Cortez said was the intended meaning of her remarks in March 2019.

The issue was brought up before he died

Yes and that is what fueled the legislation. People were afraid something like that would happen again. Her statements taken out of context would seem incorrect but within the framework they make perfect sense and you know it

Her statements were heard loud and clear...like they always are. Dumb is dumb. No way around it. You can be a Democrat and call out her stupidity.

If AOC wasnt constantly saying idiotic things no one would care.

And yet she holds no candle to Donald Trump's idiocy.

"But 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 a speech in Buffalo on October 31, 1944, Dewey said, “four terms or sixteen years is the most dangerous threat to our freedom ever proposed. That is one reason why I believe that two terms must be established as the limit by constitutional amendment.”

It isn't a stretch to say that republican-controlled Congress later on was making this rule simply to prevent an FDR from happening again. You're playing semantics just to prove that she's an idiot. That's the real stretch here

quote:

---

Aoc is an idiot.

Dinesh D'Souza calls her the dumbest person ever elected to Congress and that's saying a lot.

quote:

---

Every day Yahoo News has a headline:
"AOC slams _(fill in Republican name)_ with devastating retort!"

Then when you read the story, AOC's response is along the lines of 'No, you are one.'

---

Or something similar, yes

It is hilarious.

They are going to prop her up as some kind of quick-witted powerhouse, and her first national public debate will find her humiliated

Just because it was discussed ahead of time?

It could NOT be passed until he died, because there weren't enough people on board

I’m really trying to figure out if you are for real if not. Some of the positions you take would only be endeavored by the mentally ill or a paid shill, however I’m fascinated by the thought of real people like you actually being out there. Like UFOs or the Loch Ness Monster.

Might be a paid GOP shill. Pose as a Democrat to make them look stupid.

Amazing job of staying in character.

Occasional Cortex has a room temperature IQ. As the mother of a daughter, I can tell you that she is the know it all that always starts a fight at the sleep over.

AOC has exaggerated her CV.
While Cheyney did this

quote:

She received her bachelor of arts degree (BA) from Colorado College, her mother's alma mater, where she wrote her senior thesis, "The Evolution of Presidential War Powers," (1988).[2] She received her J.D. degree from the University of Chicago Law School (1996), having also taken courses in Middle Eastern history at the Oriental Institute.[8]
