Critics questioned not only his policies and positions, but also the consolidation of power that occurred due to his lengthy tenure as President, his service during two major crises, and his enormous popularity.By the middle of his second term, much criticism of Roosevelt centered on fears that he was heading toward a dictatorship, by attempting to seize control of the Supreme Court in the Court-packing incident of 1937, attempting to eliminate dissent within the Democratic party in the South during the 1938 elections, and breaking a tradition established by George Washington in seeking a third term in the White House in 1940.
