At the time, there were no laws prohibiting a president from serving more than 2 consecutive terms in office. The advent of World War II was a contributing factor to both FDR's decision to run for a 3rd (and 4th) term, and to his relatively easy victories.

It should be added, though, that FDR didn't serve 4 terms. He was elected 4 times, but died a only few weeks into the 4th term, and was succeeded by Harry Truman.

"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."
