    “Roosevelt wore this elegant slate-blue silk crepe evening gown designed by Sally Milgrim for the 1933 inaugural ball in Washington DC. Her gown was embroidered with a leaf-and-flower design in gold thread.

    The gown featured unique detachable long sleeves that were attached by beautiful blue moonstone and rhinestone shoulder clips. The belt buckle and was also made of rhinestone and moonstone.”

    FDR himself served four terms, something not since possible, due to the Twenty-second Amendment which now limits office to two terms.

    However, his current successor said on a recent TV interview that that he was looking for ways to contest a third term.

    ― Eleanor Roosevelt
