FDR Homes

The three stamps on the second row show an image of Franklin Roosevelt, the thirty-second president of the United States. Each also shows a home in which he lived: Hyde Park, his residence from birth in New York and where he and his wife Eleanor Roosevelt were buried when they died; Warm Springs in Georgia where he had what became known as Little White House, his weekend home; and the White House, the official residence of the President.

I think it’s interesting that we know about his homes and that they issued stamps commemorating them. The White House I understand, but not his personal properties. Of course, he was in office for a long time. He was elected to four terms as president. That was before there was a term limit. After he died, Congress passed an amendment to the Consitution limiting a president to two terms for a maximum of ten years.
