FDR was elected to 4 terms (1932, 1936, 1940, and 1944) then died in April 1945.No president before him had been elected to more than 2 terms and after him the 22nd Amendment limited future presidents to no more than 2 terms.
In the United States, the president's term of office is four years. For many years, presidents were expected to serve no more than two consecutive terms, but there was no law about it-- in fact, President Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected four times. But in 1951, the 22nd Amendment went into effect and now no president can serve more than two consecutive terms, or eight years.
No, US Presidents can only serve 2 terms, even if unconsecutively.
If elected, a president can serve for two consecutive terms of four years each. If the president resigns or dies, and the vice president becomes president, he can serve out the remaining term of the former president. If the remaining portion of the term is less than two years, the new president can then run for and be elected to two consecutive terms of four years each. Short version- not more than 10 years with two years as a replacement for the president and eight years as an elected official.

No. It's theoretically possible for a president of the US to have three nonconsecutive terms in office (elected vice-president, becomes president more than two years into his term, loses (or doesn't run) the next election, runs for president in a later election and wins, loses (or doesn't run) in the next election, runs AGAIN in a later election and wins). The only US president so far to serve non-consecutive terms was Grover Cleveland, who was elected in 1884, lost to Benjamin Harrison (despite winning the popular vote) in 1888, and was elected again in 1892.
FDR
Four years. This is called a "term." No president can serve more than 2 consecutive terms, but can be elected again following a term that they did not serve as president.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt is the ONLY President who will EVER be elected to more than two terms (He was elected to four)
In the United States, a president may be elected to serve no more than two terms.
