Quite the stretch. There really isn’t any comparison to be done between a war of foreign aggression and a civil war in this context. Also didn’t the US allow a third time for Roosevelt during WWII for much the same reasons?

As I said elsewhere, the effect of denying the centralized government the ability to offer elections in occupied territory is the same.

There was no law at the time limiting the number of terms presidents could win.
