Justin, The obvious answer is yes since he completed FDR's term and then ran on his own in 48, yes? But I suppose this is another trick - give it to me. Gary

Yes,Truman could have run in '52. The amendment that kept the max years to 10 was passed and approved by 3/4 of the states while he was President, but it did not apply to him. He was more or less burned out by '52 and backed off. BTW, he didnot back off because of Eisenhower. In '52, Robert Taft, Mr. Republican, was slated for the nomination. However, at the convention, he didn't have the votes, there was turmoil, and Eisenhower was more or less drafted as a compromise candidate acceptable to all factions. It was the last brokered convention in American politics. TG
