Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was the 32nd president of the United States and was elected to serve more than two terms as president. I believe that it is accurate to say that this man was the most successful and most favoured president that this country has ever had.
Eight years is the limit for most Presidents. However, it theoretically possible for a President who was first a vice-president who finished out another person's term with two years left to serve for 10 years by being elected to two more terms of his own.An American president can serve two terms, or up to eight years in office by today's standards. There was a president who served four terms, but after his presidencies the constitution was amended so that they could only serve two terms.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He served 3 full terms and part of a fourth before his death.
A term equals 4 years. A president can serve up to 2 terms meaning 8 years. For example. President Obama has been president for almost 4 years. His term is almost up. They will have an election in November and if President Obama wins, he will be president for four more years. Only 2 terms is the most for a president.

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.

FDR was elected to 4 terms. After he died during his fourth term, the Congress passed a law. The President of the USA can serve no more than 2 full terms as President (if he/she is Vice President to a President that dies in office, then they can serve the remaining term as President and serve an additional two terms in office). Therefore President Harry Truman could serve two full terms as President in addition to the term he finished up for FDR. (HST only ran for more term). LBJ could serve as two full terms plus the term he was Vice President for JFK. LBJ only served one full term as President. He did not run again in 1968.
