Franklin Delano Roosevelt running for a third term - 2024 ACF Nationals

Question

Description acceptable. Increasing public speculation about this decision led political cartoonists to depict its central figure as the Sphinx. In the aftermath of this decision, (-5[1])a politician delighted crowds by repeatedly rhyming the names “Martin, Barton, and Fish.” The carefully stage-managed announcement (-5[1])of this decision included a crowd planted with slogan-chanting supporters, who were egged on by Ed Kelly loyalist Thomas Garry, the so-called “voice from the sewers.” (10[2])This decision inspired the claim that “this is no ordinary time,” which titles (10[1])Doris Kearns Goodwin’s biography of its central figure. The fallout from this decision, which sank the political ambitions of James Farley and John Nance Garner, (10[1])caused the passage of the 22nd Amendment. (10[3])For (10[1])10 (10[1])points, (10[1])identify this decision (10[1])that allowed an incumbent president to defeat Wendell (10[1])Willkie (10[2])in the (10[1])1940 (10[1])election. (10[1])■END■ (10[4])

ANSWER: Franklin Delano Roosevelt running for a third term [accept Franklin Delano Roosevelt running in the 1940 presidential election until “1940” is read; accept FDR in place of “Roosevelt”; accept descriptions like more than two terms in place of “third term”; prompt on Franklin Delano Roosevelt running for President or FDR running for reelection or equivalents; reject answers that specify a “fourth term”] (Eleanor Roosevelt said, “This is no ordinary time” during a speech to quell dissent at the 1940 DNC.)
