      The guy who served 5 terms, started the cold war, and became the basis for why we needed the 2 term limit?

        He served five terms because he was so good he was massively popular, the conservatives paniced and pushed for term limits afterwards as they were scared of the idea of people running with policies that benifted the majority of people repetedly getting long periods of power like that.
