This was passed because of FDR.
Reagan fan boys also tried to repeal it.

Why are they bothering to do anything legitimately? Haven't they already ignored the entire Bill of Rights? Do they want to give us an 'Emperor for Life'? Like Idi Amin? Do they think there are enough sheep that will go for this idea?
