Explanation:

The Presidential Election of 1940 took place on November 5, 1940. The outgoing President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Democratic candidate, broke with the tradition of not competing for a third term, which became a major issue of this election.

Subsequently, the ratification of the XXIIth Amendment of the United States Constitution in 1951 made it impossible for the future to apply for a third term.
