On November 7, 1944, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt is elected to an unprecedented fourth term in office. FDR remains the only president to have served more than two terms.
Roosevelt rose above personal and political challenges to emerge as one of the nation’s most revered and influential presidents. In 1921, at the age of 39, he contracted polio and thereafter was burdened with leg braces; eventually, he was confined to a wheelchair. From the time he was first elected to the presidency in 1932 to mid-1945, when he died while in office, Roosevelt presided over two of the biggest crises in U.S. history: the Great Depression of the 1930s and World War II.

We were really a lost nation then. That's why we need term limits for all government positions. FDR was a beginning of the socialist agenda in the US.

Thank goodness for term limits on the Presidency. Maybe we need them on Congress as well.

While in office, he clearly moved the needle that helped us move forward. I would consider him to be in the right place at the right time!
