Franklin Roosevelt was elected four times. He was elected in 1932,1936,1940 and 1944. He served three full 4-year terms and died three months into his fourth term. He first took office on March 4, 1933 and served until his death on April 12, 1945.

He was to only US president ever to run for president more than two times.

Because of the 1933 change of the Presidential inauguration date, Roosevelt's first term was only 46 months, from March 4, 1933 to January 20, 1937, when he was sworn in for his second term. His total time in office was 12 years and 40 days (4422 days).

Following his death, the 22nd amendment (1951) established a Constitutional limit of two elected terms. It also effectively established the maximum that any future US President may serve to 10 years.
