Best Answer

The longest-serving president was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who was elected to four terms as president and served twelve years before dying in office (from American National Biography Online).

After Roosevelt's death, the ratification of the 22nd Amendment in 1951 limited the number of terms to which any person can be elected president to two (from the National Archives).

If a president has served one term and then another president is in the way can he she run again?

every US president is limited to 2 terms, regardless of whether they served them consecutively or fragmented. There has yet to be a president to serve once, wait a term, and serve again. Fun Fact: although presidents may only serve for 3 terms, an individual may serve for 10 years as president. A vice president may serve for 2 years, in the absence of a president, and the term would not count towards his total term.
