Google's picks:

In 1944, an attempt by a group of German officials to assassinate Adolf Hitler with a bomb failed as the explosion at Hitler's Rastenburg headquarters only wounded the Nazi leader.

In 1944, President Franklin D. Roosevelt was nominated for an unprecedented fourth term of office at the Democratic convention in Chicago.

It was tradition for presidents to only accept two terms of office, following George Washington's precedent (after his second term, he was jus tlike "screw it).

However, it was only introduced into the Constitution that a president may only serve for two terms after Roosevelt served more than the precedent set.

 

[Demon-Xanth]

That was enacted BECAUSE he got a 4th term. Before that people only went for office twice out of custom.
