Did Franklin Roosevelt appoint six additional justices to the US Supreme Court?
No. President Roosevelt wrote a plan that would allow him to appoint one new justice for each current justice over the age of 70.5 years old, up to a maximum of six additional justices, which would expand the size of the Supreme Court from nine to fifteen. Congress understood the President's idea was unconstitutional, so they refused to pass the legislation. Eventually, the old members of the Supreme Court began retiring and passing away, so Roosevelt was able to appoint eight replacements without adding to the size of the Court.

How would increasing the number of justices on the US Supreme Court help President Roosevelt politically?
Roosevelt wanted to dilute the conservative votes of the "Four Horsemen" (Pierce Butler, James C. McReynolds, George Sutherland, and Willis van Devanter) who lead the fight against Roosevelt's progressive New Deal legislation. All of the "Four Horsemen" were over 70.5, the age Roosevelt used as a trigger point for adding new justices. Roosevelt would have chosen only justices he could count on to support the New Deal, thus controlling the Supreme Court votes. This is, of course, unconstitutional as it is a threat to the separation of powers and would require an amendment, which was not in FDR's power, nor any other President who might want to do this. Obviously FDR was not allowed to do this. The Senate referred Roosevelt's court-packing plan to the Judiciary Committee, where it died.

What was criticism of Roosevelt's court-packing plan?
The criticism was that the President tried to influence the Supreme Court's jurisdiction by adding to the number of judges with candidates sympathetic to Roosevelt's New Deal initiatives. Roosevelt's argument was that that the Constitution does not limit the number of Supreme Court judges, so that he was perfectly entitled to propose legislation to add to their number. In the end, Congress put the proposal on the back burner and Roosevelt saw his problem solved by one of the Supreme Court judges moving over to the pro-New Deal side of the Court, thereby giving it a majority.

What was a failure of Roosevelt's?
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt held office during one of the darkest eras in American history. The Great Depression was a presidential challenge, yet Roosevelt confronted the severe economic downturn with his New Deal. In the midst of reform, Roosevelt felt the Supreme Court was slowing his progress towards rescuing the nation. Six of the nine justices were less than supportive of Roosevelt's liberal agenda. To counter the votes of these justices, in 1936 Roosevelt suggested adding a new justice to the court for every standing justice that reached seventy years of age but declined to retire. While Roosevelt argued the plan, termed court packing, was meant to increase Court efficiency, several politicians understood Roosevelt's underlying motivation for a Court more agreeable to his policies. Roosevelt was accused of abusing presidential power and the idea was abandoned, but the failure and associated scandal cost Roosevelt a large portion of his support.
What us president served the longest consecutive years in office?

Currently, Presidents are constitutionally limited to two consecutive terms, adding up to only 8 years.
