Because there was no law against it back then. George Washington stopped at being elected two times because he didn't want to die in office giving the impression he was a king, so he stopped at two. And every other president wanted to follow in his footsteps until Roosevelt came along. After his fourth term is when they made it a law to only allow a president to be elected two times.
FDR was reelected for his second term because he was saving the nation. He created government agencies and helped the country out of the despair caused by the Great Depression. People thought of him as a friend. For his third term he was reelected because he told people he had a plan to lead them out of the war. People obviously needed him so he won by a landslide again. For his fourth World War II was still on so he was reelected. He was the only president ever elected for four terms and nowadays there's a law against more than two terms.
1942 was not an election year and the war was going on in earnest, so I do not think getting re-elected was a major worry for FDR in 1942.

She was the niece of President Teddy Roosevelt, and she and Franklin were cousins (distant). Interestingly, her maiden name was Roosevelt, so she was actually Eleanor Roosevelt Roosevelt.
Roosevelt was inaugurated four times so he gave four inaugural speeches. The dates were March 4,1933, January 20,1937, January 20, 1941 and January 20, 1945.
