Bernie Sanders: The inventors of insulin sold the patent for $1. A vial costs about $5 to make. Yet people with diabetes are dying because drug corporations charge as much as $540 per vial in the United States. That level of greed is criminal. It will end when we are in the White House. twitter.com/BernieSanders…

Susan Sarandon: If the term β€œworking homeless” has not yet entered our national vocabulary, there is reason to expect that it soon will. Theirs is the face of homelessness in the United States: people whose paychecks are no longer enough to keep a roof over their heads.

Does the Two Term System of Presidency Exist in the United States?

Essentially title. Is the presidency still restricted to two terms like otl, or is it different because Roosevelt never came to power?

What if Lyndon Johnson ran for, and won, a second full-term as President of the United States in 1968?

In 1968, what if Johnson stayed in the Democrat primaries, was nominated by them and was eventually elected over Richard Nixon (keeping consistent with our timeline)?

How would the Vietnam War have been handled differently? Would there be much social change than our timeline? Who would be elected President in 1972?
