What is interesting about Franklin D Roosevelt's presidency?

FDR's presidency was longer than any other president's. In fact, he was the only US president to be elected to four terms. After he died in the midst of that 4th term (in 1945), congress passed a law that no future president could serve more than two consecutive terms; it became the 22nd Amendment in 1951. And an interesting fact about Roosevelt himself is that he was related, by blood or by marriage, to eleven other former presidents. Many people know that Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt was his fifth cousin, but he was also related to John Adams, James Madison, John Quincy Adams, Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor, Andrew Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant, Benjamin Harrison, and William Howard Taft.
