Who was us president for 16 years?

There has never been a president who has served a 16 year term. Presidents can only serve for 4 or 8 years. Franklin Roosevelt was the longest serving U.S. President at slightly over 12 years. The 22nd amendment, limiting presidential terms, was passed following his presidency, and most likely in direct response to it. It is possible for a president to serve as long 10 years even with the 22nd Amendment if he was serving as vice president and takes over for a predecessor who dies or is removed from office during the final two years of that term.
