Presidents do not repeal ammendments to the constitution. To repeal an ammendment, a new ammendment is required, by this process:
"The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments,
which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress."
The 18th Ammendment was repealed by Amendment XXI:
"Section 1. The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed."
All those saying FDR are of course, wrong, as Presidents DO NOT repeal ammendments.

Presidents don't repeal amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
Amendments and their repeal are proposed by Congress and ratified by the states.
