Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) served as president for three terms from 1933 to 1945, a unique occurrence in U.S. history. He was elected to four terms, winning his first election during the Great Depression and subsequently being re-elected in 1936, 1940, and 1944. His unprecedented tenure was largely due to the ongoing economic crisis and World War II, which led many voters to favor continuity in leadership. After his presidency, the 22nd Amendment was ratified in 1951, limiting presidents to two terms.
FDR and the result was the term limits of 2 terms for a total of 8 years.
