Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected to four terms of office, in 1932, 1936, 1940 and 1944. He died in 1945 shortly after beginning his fourth term. Roosevelt is the only President to be elected more than twice.

The Twenty-Second Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in 1951, now limits the President to two terms.

Amendment XXII, Section 1

"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term."
