The people elected Adolf Hitler, who promptly changed the law to prevent himself being unelected.

No. That’s factually false.
Hitler was named chancellor of the weimar republic by the government. Not elected as such.
And it was part of a plot from the weimar government to be able to continue to work without casting new elections, as asked by the laws.
He was a member of their parliament.
Didn’t find any source on that. He ran for presidential mandate in 1932 and lost against Hindeburg. But never won an election for the Reichstag.
But I agree that, if it he had run, he would have win, as the NSDAP was the leading party in Reichstag at the time.
