Question
president roosevelt served four terms, in response, congress passed an amendment that did this?
increased presidential pay
limit the president to two terms
allowed a foreign born president
extended a single term to 4 years.
After President Roosevelt served four terms, Congress passed the 22nd Amendment. This amendment was a response to his multiple terms. The key purpose of the 22nd Amendment was to limit the President to two terms. Before this amendment, there was no formal term - limit in the Constitution (though George Washington's two - term precedent was followed until Roosevelt).
- "Increased Presidential pay" is not related to the response of Congress to Roosevelt's four terms.
- "Allowed a foreign - born President" is incorrect as the Constitution already had requirements regarding the citizenship of the President (a natural - born citizen).
- "Extended a single term to 4 years" is wrong because a Presidential term was already 4 years (established by the Constitution).
