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.

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.

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.)
Places that either didn't allow Jews or places that Jews had to be in separate places.
The policy was introduced as a compromise measure in 1993 by President Bill Clinton who campaigned in 1992 on the promise to allow all citizens to serve in the military regardless of sexual orientation. (But that idea was too radical for the time.)
