Best Answer

As regards serving more than 2 terms in office, it was Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was elected to 3rd and 4th terms during World War II. Although this was accepted by many Americans, Congress passed the 22nd amendment in 1947 to prevent Presidents from staying in office too long.

Previous Presidents who sought 3rd terms were Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson, but none of them were nominated by their parties. Teddy Roosevelt, although his first term was serving out McKinley's second term, would still have been ineligible under the later amendment.
