She knows that presidents didn't have term limits at one time.
She knows that it's now two terms.
she knows that the change had something to do with FDR.
I would venture to say that that's more than most Americans registered with either party know.
Unfortunately no one who is criticizing her for this on this thread is self-aware enough to realize that they would be making excuses if Trump made a faux pas of this type.

Does she though? For being so knowledgeable as you claim, she sure wears stupidity on her sleeve like a badge of honor.

She said that a constitutional amendment was passed to prevent FDR from running for a third term.
So yes, she knows the three things I said correctly.  One time there was no limits, there are limits now, and the change involved FDR.
She just has the order wrong. 
Is that significant to the story she was trying to tell or the point she was trying to make?  What if she had said, "They passed a constitutional amendment to prevent Harry Truman from running for a third term."  That would have been totally accurate, and probably supported the point she was actually trying to make.
