Term limits for presidents were imposed by the 22nd Amendment, which was ratified February 27, 1951. FDR was the only president to be elected more than two terms even without the 22nd Amendment (he was elected 4 times).
The 22nd amendment to US Constitution passed in 1947 and ratified in 1951 bars any US president from seeking third term. It was passed because many legislators thought that more than two terms would encourage monarchy type rule in USA which is against the spirit of the nation. Although Franklin Roosevelt was the only president who served for more than 2 terms, some other presidents also tried to seek third term. After Roosevelt's death in 1944 it was felt that not more than two terms be allowed to one person.
It had always been assumed that you should not be president for more than 8 years (2 terms), as that is what Washington did when he decided not to pursue a third term. However, after FDR was elected to a 4th term, it was decided to make this unwritten rule into a written one. FDR's extreme left policies show just how far it can go, so the term limit is now in effect to keep the presidency changing on a regular basis.
The 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified on February 27, 1951. In the Election of 1952, the Amendment did not apply to the President who was in office at the time of the ratification, Harry Truman. If it had, Truman would have been ineligible for reelection since he had been elected President once and had served as President more than two years of Franklin Roosevelt's 4th term. Pres. Truman chose not to run in 1952 anyway.
1945

Franklin D. Roosevelt was the only President to be elected more than two times. He was elected to four terms, in 1932,1936,1940 and 1944. His record will never be equaled because since then an amendment has been ratified that limits the president to being elected no more than twice.
A president can be elected for two terms of four years. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was president of the United States for twelve years, because the country didn't want to elect a new president during the war and the Great Depression of 1929.
