James - Until the adoption of the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution on February 27, 1951, there were no limits on the number of terms for US President.
@@m2hmghb Correct. And as far as Roosevelt, he was actually elected to his third term BEFORE our entry into WW2, interestingly enough. I'm at a loss to know what his argument was for breaking the custom of the self-imposed two term limit in 1940. (It was probably a more obvious argument in 1944.)
The fact that President John F. Kennedy mentioned in an interview that he taught himself speed reading and was able to read up to 1,200 words per minute probably helped make the practice popular. Subsequent presidents also enrolled in speed reading courses over the next decades.
I figured it was that or dyslexia. I am autistic and dyslexic.. I was able to memorize pages without actually reading them, and then simply refer back to the page when prompted. Because of this my teachers thought I read super fast 😂 I myself didn't realize what I was doing was not "normal" reading, I wasn't even formally diagnosed with dyslexia until college.
@@coleedward9642 still was one of America's worst President and the current corrupt President is the worst of the worst. Fact he was married to his cousin and had a affair with another cousin. FDR was our incest president.
The proposed amendment - now officially adopted as the Twenty-second Amendment - was ratified in 1951 after almost four full years of deliberation. Since the new amendment's ratification, all subsequent presidents have served for no longer than two elected terms. The only president in American history to serve more than two four-year terms was Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He actually served three full terms as well as the first three months of a fourth term until his death on April 12, 1945. So, that should answer your question. Great videos, keep up the amazing work!
Rumer has it that when Clinton left office, his staff was instructed to remove all the W keys off their keyboards as a practical joke on George W. Bush.
I had a course in grade school called "speed reading" where the goal was to increase both speed and comprehension. The idea in the school I was in was to accelerate learning and improve success. This wasn't very difficult for me however - I had a photographic memory. I glanced at the sheet music for Beethoven's 5th Symphony is Cm - 51 pages - and played it without the music for years on the piano.

Quakers are a religious non-violent group that is more into equality for sexes and basically got into positions of power because they work hard to pass new legislation to stop various injustices from happening. They actually refuse to ever take up arms even in defense of themselves or their friends. Although the world wars really divided them as many young Quakers chose to go into the military as frontline soldiers. Many older Quakers were proud but others were appalled by the violence. The Quakers were fractured badly after the world wars and so many left the religion. The modern Quakers are a shadow of their former selves although the idea of change through hard work does ring true still with many still in some position of power though today they act more like historians than actual political figures.

Well, more to make it a rule rather than a tradition. The country didn't have a problem with being pulled out of the Depression and then winning a World War as evidenced by them electing him to four terms.
George H.W. Bush joined the Navy on his 18th birthday, enlisting in the Navy's flight training program fresh out of high school. He graduated flight training and was one of the youngest Navy pilots in the service at that time. First seeing action in May 1944 at the head of a three-man Avenger torpedo bomber, he was nearly one of the casualties in the battle of Midway when his plane was shot down by Japanese gunners while making a dangerous low level torpedo attack. He watched the battle raging overhead in a one man life raft. Later rescued he then flew 58 combat missions in the Pacific.

JFK did read that speed. It's not hard to verify. You pull something of a specified number of words, place it in front of the person being tested, have them turn it over and start a timer for 60 seconds, then have them turn it back over and ask them questions about the content they read. Or have them read a set length short text of a specific length and time how long it takes them to read it and then rest them over content then divide to find the words read per minute. Also FDR was elected to four terms in office and the term limitation to two terms was set afterward.
Thanks for this fun video. The 46th president is Biden. Franklin Roosevelt served three and a part terms, having died in office. He'd been elected to four terms. After that, the law was enacted with a two-term limit. You were talking about Gerald Ford when you mentioned the president who was never elected. He had been vice president to Nixon, who resigned, and then Ford finished the term as president. He lost the next election to Carter.
You can run for more than two terms, but you can't serve more than two terms. So, if--hypothetically--you win your first and last terms, then you could have run any number of losing terms in between them. *Edit:* It's very possible. I used to read 800 wpm with speed reading techniques, which are not just skimming, having started training with 250 wpm reading speed. I could read at 800 wpm, with 100% comprehension, and pass a quiz on what I read. To be fair, technical reading and reading on subjects you aren't familiar with either slows you down or you just don't understand some of the words or the ideas that are based on knowledge of those words. The biggest increase to reading speed comes from learning how to not subvocalize and how to read progressively larger chunks in a single glance.
Technically a person can serve 2 1/2 terms, If this person serves two years or less of the preceding President's term, they may serve for two more four-year terms.
@@billdb8854 That's just because you are allowed to serve two full terms. Only being allowed to serve one term after a half term would mean that you are a special case that isn't allowed to serve two terms. Still, it's correct that you can serve 2.5 terms.
1200wqords per minute....yet he (and you) use speed reading...uhm...Technically, that's not reading 1200 WPM. You're speed reading. That does not count as reading word for word. When I hear "words per minute", I'm thinking "Okay, word for word. Wow. Impressive", but then I hear "speed reading", okay, not impressed anymore, he's not technically reading word for word". So I say this...WPM doesn't officially count if you're speed reading. You're skipping whole sentences...that's not technically "reading", therefore he's probably reading 1 or two sentences per paragraph. Doesn't count. That's called CHEATING! You want impressive? Here's whats actually impressive. I can read WORD for WORD 700-900 words per minute....WITHOUT skipping any words! That means I can read a 250-450 page book in 24 hours or less. Average person reads 100 pages per day. That means I can read up to x5 times FASTER than the average Joe. Now THAT is impressive. Oh, and I can also (at the same time) pay what is going on in the book in myhead as if it weere a movie and STILL comprehend what is going on. As for reading technical books, that depends on the subject, and how interested I am in said subject. The difference in why some people can read as fast as I can all depends on comprehension and how quick that comprehension is. Myself, as an example, my fast reading ability though not as quick as it was in my late teens when I could read a normal novel in 24hrs, was very quick compared to the other kids in elementary & middle school. Even then, I had always wondered why the other kids could never keep pace with me in my ability in reading. But it all comes down to experience. Which tells you that the average Joe doesn't reading a cook everyday. Sad. Oh well..... So yeah...if you're saying you can read 900 words with speed reading...you're not. You're cheating. You're automaically disqualified from the competition of "Reading A Book Novel The Quickest Read; Word for Word" because you were caught cheating using speed reading after your speed reading and lose by default. The Appeals option is automatically Disabled against the Judges ruling as it is ruling based upon Technicality; using the "Literal" argument is also ignored by default as it is an Appeal based upon Semantics.
@@bernardfarwell2814 *"That does not count as reading word for word. When I hear "words per minute", I'm thinking "Okay, word for word. Wow. Impressive", but then I hear "speed reading", okay, not impressed anymore, he's not technically reading word for word"."* I'm sorry, you just don't know what you are talking about, then. I read every single word, understand it, and am able to do it faster. Speed reading is a collection of techniques for improving your normal reading speed, without skipping any words, at least legitimate kinds of speed reading. I already mentioned the two most important techniques, namely, eliminating subvocalization and chunking words. When chunking words, your eyes just take in more words in a single glance, it's not skipping words, so you just have to move your eyes less and process the information faster. *"So I say this...WPM doesn't officially count if you're speed reading."* I can say that the moon is made of cheese, but that doesn't make it true. Why would you want to say something that's not true? *"You're skipping whole sentences...that's not technically "reading", therefore he's probably reading 1 or two sentences per paragraph. Doesn't count. That's called CHEATING!"* No. No skipped sentences, not even skipped words, except, if you desire, you can skip certain sorts of words and still understand--even though I don't do that--such as prepositions. *"You want impressive? Here's whats actually impressive. I can read WORD for WORD 700-900 words per minute....WITHOUT skipping any words!"* Good! So, you speed read, or you just mentally process faster than average. You are probably just speed reading without knowing it, i.e., not subvocalizing and chunking. *"That means I can read a 250-450 page book in 24 hours or less. Average person reads 100 pages per day. That means I can read up to x5 times FASTER than the average Joe. Now THAT is impressive."* Same here, but it's more like 3-4 times for me. Cool brag, though, brother. *"As for reading technical books, that depends on the subject, and how interested I am in said subject."* No. No matter how interested you are in a subject, when you encounter words you don't understand yet, concepts you don't understand yet, and ideas that you have to stop and think about, you just simply cannot read them as fast, unless you aren't actively reading. I actively read. I think consider what I'm reading, while I'm reading it. Passive reading, sure. Anybody can just mentally or verbally regurgitate what's on the paper super fast, with some practice, but you can't get super fast at having meaningful reading with technical books. It will slow you down. Perhaps, by "interested", you mean that you have already learned all the tricky words and concepts, and whatnot, in a technical area. That's quite possible. I've grown to be able to read philosophy faster, for example, through tons of repetition. Still, it takes some time to make it through a new work actively. *"The difference in why some people can read as fast as I can all depends on comprehension and how quick that comprehension is. Myself, as an example, my fast reading ability though not as quick as it was in my late teens when I could read a normal novel in 24hrs, was very quick compared to the other kids in elementary & middle school."* Same. And, that is true, comprehension speed makes a big difference. That, however, is not the only way to increase your reading speed legitimately. *"So yeah...if you're saying you can read 900 words with speed reading...you're not. You're cheating."* Dead wrong. Tell me how I'm cheating! I read, and understand, every word, at least to the same degree that everyone else does (since people often think that they understand things that they don't, for example).
I'm from Louisville, KY where Zachary Taylor lived before becoming president and where he is buried. He was in good health even for a 65 year old in 1850. That 4th of July, like so many before and since, was very hot and to combat the heat he drank a pitcher of iced milk and had a bowl of cherries and died 5 days later like the video said. The persistent poisoning rumors stemmed from the idea that southerners were upset he wanted to prevent the expansion of slavery to the west. In 1991 his body was exhumed to use modern science to determine once and for all if there was anything to those rumors. Kentucky's chief medical examiner determined that his death was due to any one of “a myriad of natural diseases which could have produced the symptoms of gastroenteritis.” so for at least as far as the official record goes, he was not poisoned.
Fun fact about Obama, he was the first and so far only President, who brewed his own beer at the The White House. White House Honey Ale. Recipe and instructions can be found online as well. Cheers! 🍻
The guy that died from eating cherries and milk could have died from food poisoning and not from being poisoned. Don’t forget refrigeration back then was basically nonexistent So things can spoil much quicker. Combined that with the milk which also was not refrigerate it could have led to his death. By the way, allergies were almost nonexistent back then.
Benjamin Disraeli, Churchill, Major, Blair, Thatcher, Johnson, May, Chamberlain, Brown... after a while I start forgetting which were PMs and which were just powerful members of the government.
Technically a president can run for two terms just not consecutive terms if they choose not to. The eight years actually oddly aren’t counted together.
Incorrect. Per the amended Constitution: " Section 1 No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term. "
Biden struggled to overcome a childhood stutter by reciting memorized speeches to his reflection and planning conversations in advance. Not SO weird but still a fact.
Unfortunately people who don’t know this or refuse to believe that take his slower pace whilst speaking as a sign of weakness and dementia setting in. The movie The Kings Speech is fantastic if people want to understand how the training of speech goes through for stammers and stuttering.
A few phun phacts: :-) Grover Cleveland ran three times. First time he won, second time he lost to Benjamin Harrison, third time he won against Harrison and got his job back. Also, the two term limit was only a tradition, until 1940 when FDR won a third term in 1940 and for a fourth in 1944. A while later, a constitutional amendment was ratified making the two term limit, law. One of you mentioned a president who wasn't elected, and you were 100% correct: Gerald Ford (the guy who they said was a model, lol) held the offices of Vice President, then President, without having been elected to either office. I must say it's nice to see people from other countries interested in US history, especially in the positive way you do. I think American presidents are usually pretty interesting. I'm glad to see you guys find them the same. Keep up the good work :-)
I learned how to speed read and it's very possible I can and do read a book a day if less than 500 pages you don't have to be genius their is a certain method I learned to work at us postal service didn't work out but I never forgot how to use it
There were no term limits for Presidents until after World War II. From George Washington forward until Franklin D Roosevelt, presidents served no more than two terms out of tradition and custom, not law. But FDR ran for President and was elected to four consecutive terms, he died early in his fourth term so he served a little over 12 years from 1932-44. He took the country thorugh the Great Depression and World War II. He is considered by many to be America's greatest President for this reason. And he is certianly in nearly everyone's top 3 or 4 Presidents usually behind Lincoln, Washington, and Jefferson--although I don't think Grant gets enough credit. After WWII, the Congress and the country passed a constitutional amendment limiting presidents to two terms (consecutive or not). The US is always concerned with politicians having too much power. But it should be noted, members of Congress and Senators are not term limited. They can run and be elected as many times as the voters want them and it is their job to provide oversight of the President. So as powerful as Presidents are, the Congress can still remove them thorguh impeachment and removal by both houses. The real power fo teh rpesidency is as commander in cheif of the military. S/he cannot decalre war, only yhr congress can do that, but they can use force to defend the country withou congressional approval and they can deploy troops during conflicts without congressional approval. Usually they seeka pporval anyway for political reasons and that keeps them from going to war on a whim. But no official war has been decalred in the US since WWII. All the other conflicts have been "police actions" or "authorizations to use force" which are not tin the constitution, but Congress seems comfortable enough with them to allow.
When I was in Jr High School my English taught all of us...I think it was called the Evelyn Woods speed reading course. And already being an avid reader at that time...really helped me consume the books, as I have ever since. I can usually read a paperback of average size in a day of reading 4-6 hrs.
You cannot run for more than 2 terms. Franklin Roosevelt was elected 4 times. After that, an Amendment was added that says no one may seve more than 2 terms or 10 years. So, lets take Gerald Ford for example. When Nixon resigned Ford had less than 2 years remaining in Nixon's term when he became President. He ran against Jimmy Carter and lost, but had he defeated Carter he could have served that term and still run for reelection. but if Nixon had resigned a few months earlier, Ford could only serve ONE full term because the time he took over plus 2 four year terms would have been more than ten years. This rule still applies to nonconsecutive terms. If Trump gets elected again in 2024 and serves out that full 8 year term, he will not be eligible to run a third time. If he lpses in 2024 he can try again in 2028 if he so chooses As for Zachary Taylor dieing from milk and cherries. Many people died from drinking milk due to all the bad stuff cows ate in the fields. Pasteurization had not been invented yet so Gail Borden of Connecticut, who had learned the process of making sweetened condensed milk, brought healthy milk to market, but Zachary Taylor died before it was available
Until the passage of the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, there was no limit on the number of terms that a President could run for or serve. The Twenty-Second Amendment was passed after Franklin D. Roosevelt won unpresedented 3rd and 4th terms - many believe he was won all 4 times primarily because we were in the middle of WWII during those elections and most people were unwilling to elect unseat the sitting President during a war. (We had 2 Presidents named Roosevelt, FDR (.32nd President) and Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. (Teddy Roosevelt - 26th President). Even after the passage of the 22nd Amendment, it is possible for a person to serve more than 2 terms - *IF* they are Vice President and are elevated to President because their President is unable to complete their term *AND* there are less than 2 years left in that term. As such, they can serve as President for that partial term (as long as it is less than 2 years), the run for President and be elected for two more (full) terms. The 22nd Amendment reads (in part), ""No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once. "
Yeah this honestly wasn’t that good of a video. The trump one was Weird, I never heard of him being scared of stairs, I have heard of him being a germaphobe
You can run for as many terms as you like but you can only be in office for 2 terms but back then you could be in office for more then two terms it’s just everyone followed the two terms because that’s what George Washington did also FDR was in office for 4 terms and after he died they made it a law that you could only be in office for two terms
Jefferson being the father of Sally Hemings children is "accepted by historians", but the "proof" is not proof, just innuendo and guesses. Some of Hemings' children certainly have Jefferson DNA, but there are more likely suspects in the Jefferson line (Thomas' brother Randolph being the most likely, former slaves report that he "used to come out among black people, play the fiddle and dance half the night..."). The Monticello home and grounds tour (owned and managed by the Thomas Jefferson Foundation) unfortunately does not allow for any doubt in their history that Thomas Jefferson fathered those children.
One weird fact about Woodrow Wilson is that the only good thing that happened in his 8 years in office was something he was forced to do, which is one of the many reasons why I hate him. About John Tyler having a living grandson, it happened because he had Lyon Gardiner Tyler in 1853 when he was 63 and his wife was 33. Lyon Gardiner Tyler later had Harrison in 1928 when he was 75, and his wife was 39. Theodore Roosevelt ran for a third term because he was allowed to back then, and he hated how his successor William Howard Taft was so conservative.
Lol. As many presidents that have been filmed tripping up or down the stairs, I might be a little worried about being filmed doing the same thing if I were president. I don't call that irrational.🤣🤣🤣
Each President has had their unique qualities and quirks. George Washington is the only President to not in the White House John Adams is the only Founding Father without a monument or memorial in Washington, DC. Thomas Jefferson was deep in debt when he died and his entire estate was auctioned to pay off bills. James Madison is the only American president to physically lead troops into battle when the British invaded Washington, DC during the War of 1812 James Monroe was one of three Founding Father Presidents who died on the nation's birthday. Adams and Jefferson died 5 years earlier on the nations 50th birthday. John Quincy Adams was the first President to be photographed Andrew Jackson beat his would be assassin with his cane when the assassin's gun misfired twice. Martin Van Buren is the first President born in the United States of America. All previous Presidents were British subject born in the British colonies. He was also the only President who spoke English as a second language. He was raised speaking Dutch. William Henry Harrison served the shortest term. He died 31 days after assuming office. John Tyler is the only President who never received a state funded funeral. 20 years after he left office he was elected to the Confederate Congress and was considered a traitor by Congress. James K Polk wore a mullet Zachary Taylor was considered as America's slobbiest President who often wore wrinkled and stained suits and was very unkempt. Millard Fillmore was self educated. He attended only 6 months of elementary school and did not attend college. Franklin Pierce was a known alcoholic James Buchanan never married. Abraham Lincoln is the only President to hold a patent for an invention Andrew Johnson was a tailor and made his own clothes Ulysses S Grant's real first name is Hiram. When he entered the Military Academy at West Point a typographical error changed his first name to Ulysses. he found it was easier to accept the new name than it was to go through the Army red tape to correct the error. Rutherford B Hayes was the first President to use a telephone. James Garfield appointed former slaves to government positions Chester Arthur held a public auction of White House furniture and mementos to raise money for new White House furniture. Among things sold were a pair of Lincoln's pants and hats worn by John Quincy Adams. Grover Cleveland was one of four Presidents who did not use their actual first name. His first name was Stephen. The others were Coolidge whose first name was John, Eisenhower whose first name was David and Wilson whose first name was Thomas. Benjamin Harrison was the first President to use electricity in The White House William McKinley was the last President to serve in The Civil War. Theodore Roosevelt is the namesake for the Teddy Bear William Howard Taft is the only person to the head of two of the three branches of government. As President he was head of the executive branch and later he was appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the Judicial branch Woodrow Wilson is the only President to hold a PHD degree. Warren G Harding was a womanizing gambler Calvin Coolidge was sworn into office by his father, who was a local official in Vermont, in his pajamas in the middle of the night after the death of his predecessor. Herbert Hoover was a member of Stanford University's first graduating class. Franklin Roosevelt's disability was a closely guarded secret in the early days of his Presidency. Harry S Truman desegregated the military and civilian government agencies allowing minorities to serve with whites Dwight d Eisenhower created America's Interstate system. John F Kennedy was America's first Catholic President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law giving civil rights and equality to minorities. Richard Nixon is the only President to resign from office. Gerald Ford was appointed to Vice President by Nixon when Spiro Agnew resigned and he became President when Nixon resigned making him the only person to serve as Vice President and President without being elected to either position. Jimmy Carter was the first president born in a hospital. Ronald Reagan loved jelly beans and during his administration the Jelly Belly jelly bean company saw massive increases in sales. George H.W. Bush was the youngest Navy fighter pilot in World War 2. He got his wings at the age of 18 Bill Clinton is the only President to be a Rhodes Scholar George W. Bush and his wife Laura are the only First Couple to have twins for kids. Barrack Obama was America's first black President Donald Trump is the only President to be indicted for crimes Joe Biden is the oldest person ever elected President
You can only do two “consecutive” terms as of the 22nd Amendment. Grover Cleveland’s two terms were non-consecutive because he won the 1884 presidential election, lost the 1888 election, and won the 1892 election.
It's two total terms, consecutive or not. It only took effect in 1951, before that it was merely a tradition since Washington had stepped down after his 2nd term.
I guess the only weird fact about Biden is he has a cat in the White House an also Biden discovered that Trump left his golf set at White house and that the White House smelled like McDonald's. 😅
I'll give you two on Biden. He's is only the second President to be a Catholic after JFK and only the second President from Pennsylvania the first being Buchanan.
So, Donald Trump purportedly has an irrational fear of stairs, but seems to know how to use them without incident, while his successor certainly should have a fear of stairs because he can't seem to stop tripping and falling on them.

George H.W. Bush joined the Navy on his 18th birthday, enlisting in the Navy's flight training program fresh out of high school. He graduated flight training and was one of the youngest Navy pilots in the service at that time. First seeing action in May 1944 at the head of a three-man Avenger torpedo bomber, he was nearly one of the casualties in the battle of Midway when his plane was shot down by Japanese gunners while making a dangerous low level torpedo attack. He watched the battle raging overhead in a one man life raft. Later rescued he then flew 58 combat missions in the Pacific.
My uncle lied about his age to join the Army , they found out his real age two years later, he retired in 1980 after being in the Army for 30 years.

James... people can RUN for as many Terms as they'd like [untill elected twice]. But you can only SERVE two terms.
Franklin D Roosevelt died during his 4th term in office and in 1951 the US passed an Amendment to the Constitution limiting terms to 2
Well, hopefully Congress won't have to try to limit it to one term because of the current occupant of the White House.
@@skyhawk_4526 more likely because of the previous occupant

Seems like I remember that Kennedy read something like 12 newspapers a day.......
WHEN grover Cleveland was running, there was not a two term limit added to the Constitution, at the time, 24th.Amendment, I believe.
I learned to speed read many years ago and could read over 1000 words per minute.
JFK did read that speed. It's not hard to verify. You pull something of a specified number of words, place it in front of the person being tested, have them turn it over and start a timer for 60 seconds, then have them turn it back over and ask them questions about the content they read. Or have them read a set length short text of a specific length and time how long it takes them to read it and then rest them over content then divide to find the words read per minute. Also FDR was elected to four terms in office and the term limitation to two terms was set afterward.
Concerning FDR, he was elected to 4 terms but died a little less than three months into his fourth on April 12, 1945.
Joe Biden is the fictional character Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation's celebrity hall pass.
Thanks for this fun video. The 46th president is Biden. Franklin Roosevelt served three and a part terms, having died in office. He'd been elected to four terms. After that, the law was enacted with a two-term limit. You were talking about Gerald Ford when you mentioned the president who was never elected. He had been vice president to Nixon, who resigned, and then Ford finished the term as president. He lost the next election to Carter.

Milk Sickness was common back in the day. Abe Lincolns mother died from it.
You can run for more than two terms, but you can't serve more than two terms. So, if--hypothetically--you win your first and last terms, then you could have run any number of losing terms in between them.
*Edit:* It's very possible. I used to read 800 wpm with speed reading techniques, which are not just skimming, having started training with 250 wpm reading speed. I could read at 800 wpm, with 100% comprehension, and pass a quiz on what I read. To be fair, technical reading and reading on subjects you aren't familiar with either slows you down or you just don't understand some of the words or the ideas that are based on knowledge of those words. The biggest increase to reading speed comes from learning how to not subvocalize and how to read progressively larger chunks in a single glance.
Technically a person can serve 2 1/2 terms, If this person serves two years or less of the preceding President's term, they may serve for two more four-year terms.
@@billdb8854 That's just because you are allowed to serve two full terms. Only being allowed to serve one term after a half term would mean that you are a special case that isn't allowed to serve two terms. Still, it's correct that you can serve 2.5 terms.
1200wqords per minute....yet he (and you) use speed reading...uhm...Technically, that's not reading 1200 WPM. You're speed reading. That does not count as reading word for word. When I hear "words per minute", I'm thinking "Okay, word for word. Wow. Impressive", but then I hear "speed reading", okay, not impressed anymore, he's not technically reading word for word".
So I say this...WPM doesn't officially count if you're speed reading. You're skipping whole sentences...that's not technically "reading", therefore he's probably reading 1 or two sentences per paragraph. Doesn't count. That's called CHEATING!
You want impressive? Here's whats actually impressive. I can read WORD for WORD 700-900 words per minute....WITHOUT skipping any words! That means I can read a 250-450 page book in 24 hours or less. Average person reads 100 pages per day. That means I can read up to x5 times FASTER than the average Joe. Now THAT is impressive. Oh, and I can also (at the same time) pay what is going on in the book in myhead as if it weere a movie and STILL comprehend what is going on.
As for reading technical books, that depends on the subject, and how interested I am in said subject.
The difference in why some people can read as fast as I can all depends on comprehension and how quick that comprehension is. Myself, as an example, my fast reading ability though not as quick as it was in my late teens when I could read a normal novel in 24hrs, was very quick compared to the other kids in elementary & middle school. Even then, I had always wondered why the other kids could never keep pace with me in my ability in reading. But it all comes down to experience. Which tells you that the average Joe doesn't reading a cook everyday. Sad. Oh well.....
So yeah...if you're saying you can read 900 words with speed reading...you're not. You're cheating. You're automaically disqualified from the competition of "Reading A Book Novel The Quickest Read; Word for Word" because you were caught cheating using speed reading after your speed reading and lose by default. The Appeals option is automatically Disabled against the Judges ruling as it is ruling based upon Technicality; using the "Literal" argument is also ignored by default as it is an Appeal based upon Semantics.
@@bernardfarwell2814 *"That does not count as reading word for word. When I hear "words per minute", I'm thinking "Okay, word for word. Wow. Impressive", but then I hear "speed reading", okay, not impressed anymore, he's not technically reading word for word"."*
I'm sorry, you just don't know what you are talking about, then. I read every single word, understand it, and am able to do it faster. Speed reading is a collection of techniques for improving your normal reading speed, without skipping any words, at least legitimate kinds of speed reading. I already mentioned the two most important techniques, namely, eliminating subvocalization and chunking words. When chunking words, your eyes just take in more words in a single glance, it's not skipping words, so you just have to move your eyes less and process the information faster.
*"So I say this...WPM doesn't officially count if you're speed reading."*
I can say that the moon is made of cheese, but that doesn't make it true. Why would you want to say something that's not true?
*"You're skipping whole sentences...that's not technically "reading", therefore he's probably reading 1 or two sentences per paragraph. Doesn't count. That's called CHEATING!"*
No. No skipped sentences, not even skipped words, except, if you desire, you can skip certain sorts of words and still understand--even though I don't do that--such as prepositions.
*"You want impressive? Here's whats actually impressive. I can read WORD for WORD 700-900 words per minute....WITHOUT skipping any words!"*
Good! So, you speed read, or you just mentally process faster than average. You are probably just speed reading without knowing it, i.e., not subvocalizing and chunking.
*"That means I can read a 250-450 page book in 24 hours or less. Average person reads 100 pages per day. That means I can read up to x5 times FASTER than the average Joe. Now THAT is impressive."*
Same here, but it's more like 3-4 times for me. Cool brag, though, brother.
*"As for reading technical books, that depends on the subject, and how interested I am in said subject."*
No. No matter how interested you are in a subject, when you encounter words you don't understand yet, concepts you don't understand yet, and ideas that you have to stop and think about, you just simply cannot read them as fast, unless you aren't actively reading. I actively read. I think consider what I'm reading, while I'm reading it. Passive reading, sure. Anybody can just mentally or verbally regurgitate what's on the paper super fast, with some practice, but you can't get super fast at having meaningful reading with technical books. It will slow you down. Perhaps, by "interested", you mean that you have already learned all the tricky words and concepts, and whatnot, in a technical area. That's quite possible. I've grown to be able to read philosophy faster, for example, through tons of repetition. Still, it takes some time to make it through a new work actively.
*"The difference in why some people can read as fast as I can all depends on comprehension and how quick that comprehension is. Myself, as an example, my fast reading ability though not as quick as it was in my late teens when I could read a normal novel in 24hrs, was very quick compared to the other kids in elementary & middle school."*
Same. And, that is true, comprehension speed makes a big difference. That, however, is not the only way to increase your reading speed legitimately.
*"So yeah...if you're saying you can read 900 words with speed reading...you're not. You're cheating."*
Dead wrong. Tell me how I'm cheating! I read, and understand, every word, at least to the same degree that everyone else does (since people often think that they understand things that they don't, for example).
I'm from Louisville, KY where Zachary Taylor lived before becoming president and where he is buried. He was in good health even for a 65 year old in 1850. That 4th of July, like so many before and since, was very hot and to combat the heat he drank a pitcher of iced milk and had a bowl of cherries and died 5 days later like the video said. The persistent poisoning rumors stemmed from the idea that southerners were upset he wanted to prevent the expansion of slavery to the west. In 1991 his body was exhumed to use modern science to determine once and for all if there was anything to those rumors. Kentucky's chief medical examiner determined that his death was due to any one of “a myriad of natural diseases which could have produced the symptoms of gastroenteritis.” so for at least as far as the official record goes, he was not poisoned.
Grover Cleveland ran for president for two successive, but non-consecutive, non-contiguous, non-continuous terms of office.

Campaigns that you run and lose don’t count against the two term limit.
The two term limit was imposed after FDR’s fourth term.
A person can run as many time as they want but can only serve two terms.
Of course, if they can't serve there's really no point in running
its possible I am a speed reader also.
Grover Cleveland served two Non-Consecutive terms. The only President to do so.
1200 words is roughly 4 pages in an average book, so not impossible.

The guy that died from eating cherries and milk could have died from food poisoning and not from being poisoned. Don’t forget refrigeration back then was basically nonexistent So things can spoil much quicker. Combined that with the milk which also was not refrigerate it could have led to his death.
By the way, allergies were almost nonexistent back then.
Also, Jimmy Carter was the first United States President to be born in a hospital..

The cherries and milk weren't sanitized or pasturized.

Technically a president can run for two terms just not consecutive terms if they choose not to. The eight years actually oddly aren’t counted together.
Incorrect. Per the amended Constitution:
"
Section 1
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.
"
Sorry Millie, but James is right this time. Grover Cleveland served two terms as president; they just weren’t consecutive terms.

Biden struggled to overcome a childhood stutter by reciting memorized speeches to his reflection and planning conversations in advance. Not SO weird but still a fact.

A few phun phacts: :-)
Grover Cleveland ran three times. First time he won, second time he lost to Benjamin Harrison, third time he won against Harrison and got his job back.
Also, the two term limit was only a tradition, until 1940 when FDR won a third term in 1940 and for a fourth in 1944. A while later, a constitutional amendment was ratified making the two term limit, law.
One of you mentioned a president who wasn't elected, and you were 100% correct: Gerald Ford (the guy who they said was a model, lol) held the offices of Vice President, then President, without having been elected to either office.
I must say it's nice to see people from other countries interested in US history, especially in the positive way you do. I think American presidents are usually pretty interesting. I'm glad to see you guys find them the same. Keep up the good work :-)
The 2 term rule didn't start till around the 1950s
I learned how to speed read and it's very possible I can and do read a book a day if less than 500 pages you don't have to be genius their is a certain method I learned to work at us postal service didn't work out but I never forgot how to use it
There were no term limits for Presidents until after World War II. From George Washington forward until Franklin D Roosevelt, presidents served no more than two terms out of tradition and custom, not law. But FDR ran for President and was elected to four consecutive terms, he died early in his fourth term so he served a little over 12 years from 1932-44.
He took the country thorugh the Great Depression and World War II. He is considered by many to be America's greatest President for this reason. And he is certianly in nearly everyone's top 3 or 4 Presidents usually behind Lincoln, Washington, and Jefferson--although I don't think Grant gets enough credit. After WWII, the Congress and the country passed a constitutional amendment limiting presidents to two terms (consecutive or not).
The US is always concerned with politicians having too much power. But it should be noted, members of Congress and Senators are not term limited. They can run and be elected as many times as the voters want them and it is their job to provide oversight of the President. So as powerful as Presidents are, the Congress can still remove them thorguh impeachment and removal by both houses.
The real power fo teh rpesidency is as commander in cheif of the military. S/he cannot decalre war, only yhr congress can do that, but they can use force to defend the country withou congressional approval and they can deploy troops during conflicts without congressional approval. Usually they seeka pporval anyway for political reasons and that keeps them from going to war on a whim. But no official war has been decalred in the US since WWII. All the other conflicts have been "police actions" or "authorizations to use force" which are not tin the constitution, but Congress seems comfortable enough with them to allow.
I personally can read 1200 to 1500 words per minute
When I was in Jr High School my English taught all of us...I think it was called the Evelyn Woods speed reading course. And already being an avid reader at that time...really helped me consume the books, as I have ever since. I can usually read a paperback of average size in a day of reading 4-6 hrs.
My father was able to read 1200 words per minute
You cannot run for more than 2 terms. Franklin Roosevelt was elected 4 times. After that, an Amendment was added that says no one may seve more than 2 terms or 10 years. So, lets take Gerald Ford for example. When Nixon resigned Ford had less than 2 years remaining in Nixon's term when he became President. He ran against Jimmy Carter and lost, but had he defeated Carter he could have served that term and still run for reelection. but if Nixon had resigned a few months earlier, Ford could only serve ONE full term because the time he took over plus 2 four year terms would have been more than ten years.
This rule still applies to nonconsecutive terms. If Trump gets elected again in 2024 and serves out that full 8 year term, he will not be eligible to run a third time. If he lpses in 2024 he can try again in 2028 if he so chooses
As for Zachary Taylor dieing from milk and cherries. Many people died from drinking milk due to all the bad stuff cows ate in the fields. Pasteurization had not been invented yet so Gail Borden of Connecticut, who had learned the process of making sweetened condensed milk, brought healthy milk to market, but Zachary Taylor died before it was available
Many people can or be taught to read close to 1200 words a minute
Until the passage of the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, there was no limit on the number of terms that a President could run for or serve. The Twenty-Second Amendment was passed after Franklin D. Roosevelt won unpresedented 3rd and 4th terms - many believe he was won all 4 times primarily because we were in the middle of WWII during those elections and most people were unwilling to elect unseat the sitting President during a war. (We had 2 Presidents named Roosevelt, FDR (.32nd President) and Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. (Teddy Roosevelt - 26th President).
Even after the passage of the 22nd Amendment, it is possible for a person to serve more than 2 terms - *IF* they are Vice President and are elevated to President because their President is unable to complete their term *AND* there are less than 2 years left in that term. As such, they can serve as President for that partial term (as long as it is less than 2 years), the run for President and be elected for two more (full) terms. The 22nd Amendment reads (in part), ""No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once. "
Let’s hope the president is competent

You can run for as many terms as you like but you can only be in office for 2 terms but back then you could be in office for more then two terms it’s just everyone followed the two terms because that’s what George Washington did also FDR was in office for 4 terms and after he died they made it a law that you could only be in office for two terms
There is a lot that can be said about LBJ & Kennedy
LBJ likes to hold meetings while shitting with the bathroom door off the Oval Office open.
Jefferson being the father of Sally Hemings children is "accepted by historians", but the "proof" is not proof, just innuendo and guesses.
Some of Hemings' children certainly have Jefferson DNA, but there are more likely suspects in the Jefferson line (Thomas' brother Randolph being the most likely, former slaves report that he "used to come out among black people, play the fiddle and dance half the night...").
The Monticello home and grounds tour (owned and managed by the Thomas Jefferson Foundation) unfortunately does not allow for any doubt in their history that Thomas Jefferson fathered those children.

That is not uncommon, every girl I've dated had a name for their uhhh.. upstairs and downstairs if you catch my drift
Franklin Roosevelt served 3 terms
Elected to four and served much of the way through the fourth until his death.
One weird fact about Woodrow Wilson is that the only good thing that happened in his 8 years in office was something he was forced to do, which is one of the many reasons why I hate him. About John Tyler having a living grandson, it happened because he had Lyon Gardiner Tyler in 1853 when he was 63 and his wife was 33. Lyon Gardiner Tyler later had Harrison in 1928 when he was 75, and his wife was 39. Theodore Roosevelt ran for a third term because he was allowed to back then, and he hated how his successor William Howard Taft was so conservative.
Wilson was so far the first and only technocrat president (he studied governmental administration) in office.

You can run as much as you want you can only be president 2 terms again millie is right
You can only do two “consecutive” terms as of the 22nd Amendment. Grover Cleveland’s two terms were non-consecutive because he won the 1884 presidential election, lost the 1888 election, and won the 1892 election.
It's two total terms, consecutive or not. It only took effect in 1951, before that it was merely a tradition since Washington had stepped down after his 2nd term.
