President Obama in the first term.

Tradition set by George Washington to have two consecutive terms only.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) was the only US president to serve more than 2 terms in office. This was prior to the 22nd Amendment.

22nd Amendment to the United States Constitution:

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.
