  • Limiting Terms, Not Limiting the Executive Branch
    Limiting Terms, Not Limiting the Executive Branch Rachel Star When the Framers drafted the 1787 Constitution, argument and controversy surrounded almost every issue except the election of George Washington as the first President of the United States. Washington was a great leader, so great that he was asked by Hamilton to become king and serve for life. However, after he served as president for eight years—two terms—Washington decided not to run again. In his Farewell Address published in 1796, he stated, “The disorders and miseries which result [in any country] gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.”1 In that address, Washington implicitly set the precedent for an unofficial two- term limit on all presidents to come. That precedent, often referred to as an unwritten rule, would not be broken for nearly 145 years, until the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1941, Franklin Roosevelt became the first American president to be elected for a third term and thus the first to break with the two-term tradition begun by Washington. While he was extremely popular and was even re-elected in 1944 for a fourth term, his blatant disregard of the boundaries established by all his predecessors was a significant change. Like any change, it incited a backlash. The backlash came in the form of the 22nd Amendment, which converted the two-term limit from mere tradition into a formal part of the U.S.

    Strand Releasing proudly presents BRANCA'S PITCH A film by Andrew J. Muscato iTunes Exclusive Release on September 26, 2013 DVD and On-Demand Release October 1, 2013 The Story Behind the Shot Heard 'Round the World’ Press Contact: Jenna Martin/Marcus Hu, Strand Releasing, [email protected] Please download photos at: http://extranet.strandreleasing.com/secure/login.aspx?username=PRESS&password=STRAND Synopsis: On October 3, 1951 Ralph Branca became a legendary figure in baseball history. The 26-year old Brooklyn Dodger pitcher became infamous for losing the 1951 National League Pennant to the bitter rival New York Giants, by giving up the game winning homerun termed “The Shot Heard Round the World.” Jeered by once adoring fans and labeled a scapegoat for the rest of his life, Ralph never reclaimed his career. BRANCA’S PITCH is a feature-length documentary following Ralph Branca’s journey to pen a memoir that finally tells his side of the story, to try and restore his fascinating, yet overlooked legacy in baseball’s “Golden Age” of the ‘40s and ‘50s. Enlisting the help of acclaimed and best-selling author, David Ritz, an unlikely friendship forms. Ritz with sleeve tattoos covering both arms and flamboyant outfits is on a constant journey towards the heart of matters. While Branca is a conservative stoic of a bygone era, needing help to let out decades of pain on to the page. Their poignant exchanges are both endearing and humorous as Ralph begins to trust Ritz with not only righting his legacy but also sharing a secret held for over 50 years – that the New York Giants cheated.
