The third president, Thomas Jefferson, had Aaron Burr as vice president for his first term and George Clinton for his second term.
True. He was elected for his third term in 1940.
Abraham Lincoln was the US President for two terms. In his first term, Hannibal Hamlin was his Vice President, and in his second term, Andrew Johnson was his Vice President. President Lincoln was shot 6 weeks into his second term, and Andrew Johnson became President. Thus, Abraham Lincoln did not have a third Vice President.
January 20, 1941 was the date that FDR began his third term as president.

An attempt was made to nominate President Grant for a third term, but he didn't campaign for it in the way people run for President now and the attempt failed. The first President to run for a third term was Theodore Roosevelt. After serving two terms from 1901 to 1908, Teddy Roosevelt did not run in 1908. In 1912, Teddy ran for the Republican nomination and lost to William Howard Taft. He then formed a third party, the Bull Moose party, and ran for President. He ultimatedly lost to Woodrow Wilson, though he did beat the Republican candidate, Taft.

The first, and only president elected for a third term was Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940 due to some concerns during WWII. He was also elected in 1947 for a fourth term, but died only months into his fourth term.
George Washington, the first US president, set a non-binding precedent that was followed from 1787 to 1940. Washington was the first to refuse a third term, thereby accepting a precedent that was followed by all until FDR broke it, although Grant let it be known that he would accept a draft for a third term and Wilson hinted that he might go for a third term before he had his stroke. Teddy Roosevelt left after his first 7 years as President (1901-1909), but regretted it. In 1912, he ran for president again in his newly formed Bull Moose party, against his fellow Republican and successor, William Howard Taft.
