"So, why did they limit the office to two terms by 4 years...? Franklin D. Roosevelt was a good president. Or was it that they didn't want Truman to follow suit?"
Any number of reasons really, but I sense the chief reason was that people in power feeled a rise of a dictator-esque figure, someone who would remain in power indefinitely. Considering the time period, with the end of WWII, and the Cold War beginning, as well as the Red Scare, and McCarthy trials, this might make sense.
Take care all.
