My favorite of these CT’s is the one where he’ll wave his wand and make oil prices plummet, starting an amazing economic boom which will make him so popular that he’ll get the amendment passed, which would be terrible for us because of the, um, bad economy he refused to fix in his first term … Well, it needs some work.

Huh? Reagan lived long enough that he could have served 6 terms total.
And no, there wasn’t any “Reagan will run for a third term” hysteria in the 80s. It was the pre-internet days, so conspiracy theorists had to mimeograph badly formatted newsletters, then either mail them out or stand on street corners and push them into the hands of passers-by. It’s infinitely easier to broadcast your insanity now.
