The term of office for the U.S. president has always been four years. However , on January 13, 1933 the 20th amendment took effect and moved the inauguration date up from March 4 to January 20. Therefore , Franklin Roosevelt's first term which began on March 4, 1933 ended on January 20, 1936 and so was short of four years.
