Welcome to AirNManky's Cabinet of Curiosity's, a production of I Heart Radio and Grimm

and Mild.

Our world is full of the unexplainable.

And if history is an open book, all of these amazing tales are right there on display,

just waiting for us to explore.

Welcome to the Cabinet of Curiosity's.

After his second term in office in 1797, President George Washington refused to run

for a third term.

He believed two terms were enough for any president.

Every person who took office after him adhered to what was then an unwritten rule about

the position.

Until Franklin Roosevelt in 1933, each president only served at most two terms before vacating

the office.

Roosevelt famously won four elections, serving longer than any president before or since.

Sadly he passed away in 1945 not long after his fourth term began.

In 1947, the 22nd Amendment was ratified, stating a president could not be elected to

office more than twice.

Not every president made it to the end of their second term, though.

Abraham Lincoln, for example, was the first president to be assassinated while in office,

William Henry Harrison lasted only a month into his presidency before dying of typhoid
