Segregation in the armed forces was official policy until 1948. In 1941, FDR did sign an executive order creating the Fair Employment Practices Committee to end discrimination by race, creed, color or national origin, but this was only applied to civilian employers.
The Roosevelt Corollary was created to allow the United States the power to keep European countries out of South America. It allowed them to use military force if needed.
He was elected to four terms as President of the US. The Constitution has been changed to allow an individual to serve only two terms.
Franklin D. Roosevelt hold the record of being elected for four consecutive terms as president. Prior to that, it was the custom of US President to only run a maximum of two terms. The result was a change in the US Constitution to allow for only 2 terms.
Because it would be sexist not to allow them in the military.
That was to insure that a military coup was virtually impossible. Washington had been the head of the army, and it made sense to allow him to carry on with that position, and, in the time of crisis a singular voice would be able to act in the national interest. Along the same lines, it insured that the Civilian Government was the legitimate superior of the military. That is, that the military was legally subservient to the civilian government. This is an important (if often overlooked) design feature of the American government form, whereas the military is discouraged from influencing governmental decisions.
There were no term limits at the time, so he was allowed to continue running.

He was a at first reluctant to pass civil rights laws because he believed he would lose the support of Southern Whites who he depended on for his presidency. However, a lot of work benefiting civil rights was carried out, without him ever hinting much at these prospects in his speeches. With persuasion from Eleanor Roosevelt and others he worked to abolish lynching and created the Fair Employment Practices Committee to help abolish discrimination from employers. Although, he was forced to allow segregation to continue in many areas he did work to end segregation in the military.

President Bush Jr. signed a new law sometime this century, that "might" allow that.
The Insurrection Act is the law intended to allow the president to deploy the United States military to enforce federal law. It grants the president the authority to use military forces in situations of civil disorder, insurrection, or rebellion when state authorities are unable to maintain order. This act has been invoked in various historical contexts, primarily during times of significant civil unrest.

No- not unless the Constitution is amended to allow a third term. At the present, a US president can be elected at most two times. (Of course, Franklin Roosevelt served three terms back when it was legal to do so.)
To facilitate the construction of the Panama Canal, President Theodore Roosevelt supported a revolution in Panama against Colombia, which controlled the territory. In 1903, after the successful revolt, the new Panamanian government signed the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty with the U.S., granting America control over the Panama Canal Zone. This strategic move not only enabled the canal's construction but also solidified U.S. influence in the region. Roosevelt's actions were driven by the belief that the canal would enhance military and commercial mobility.
