Which President has served more than two terms?


April 8, 2025

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected four times as President of the United States of AmericaFranklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) nearly served an unprecedented four terms as President of the United States.

He was elected in 1932, 1936, 1940, and 1944. He is the only U.S. President to have served more than two terms. He died in office in April 1945, early into his fourth term. His extended tenure led to the ratification of the 22nd Amendment on Feb. 27, 1951, which limits presidents to a maximum of two terms unless they fulfill less than two years of their predecessor’s term.
