Because FDR wished to remain in office until he could end the war he had started but some found it unconstitutional so he stepped down midway through his campaign
FDR was motivated to run for a third term as president primarily due to the ongoing chaos and uncertainty of World War II. He believed that his strong leadership and experience were essential in navigating the challenges of the war and ensuring the stability of the nation during this critical time. Additionally, FDR likely felt a sense of duty and responsibility to see the war through to its conclusion and to continue his New Deal policies.
He decided to run for a third term and won nearly 55% of the popular vote
The first and only president to run three terms was Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR).
Because the US was at war and changing Presidents during this time may have upset the trust of the American public.
Franklin Roosevelt was the only president to serve or run for more than 2 terms. He died before he completed his fourth term. George Washington probably could have served for as many terms as he wished, but he refused to serve a third term and that set a precedent which everybody honored until FDR broke it. Now there is a constitutional amendment that disallows a third term.
