39. I remember someone else who was a die-hard proponent
of repealing the 22nd amendment, Ronald Reagan. So the Civil War is the only comparable crisis? I'd say the birth or the country under George Washington trumps that and he only stayed two terms(setting the precedent). You could also make an argument that the cold war and the threat of nuclear annihilation could have been used by Reagan to stay 3 or 4 terms. Sorry, I don't bend the rules based on idealogy. Term limits are a good idea. By the way, you should travel throughout those countries in Latin America that you are spouting off about. I have and I can say that there are no good parties to be praised. Nicaraugua in particular is an amazing country and I could recommend a little open air restaurant near the jungle.
