As he plans his participation in the 1938 elections across America, President Franklin Roosevelt gazes at a portrait of Teddy Roosevelt and the stuffed head of a bull moose, thinking ahead to the 1940 Presidential election. The unwritten "two term rule" would seemingly end Roosevelt's thoughts of a third term. FDR wonders if it would be wise to run on a third party as Theodore Roosevelt had in 1912.
