Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected to four terms as President (1932, 1936, 1940, 1944), serving from 1933 until his death in 1945. This was the only time in U.S. history that a president served more than two terms, leading to the 22nd Amendment which now limits presidents to two terms. Lincoln served two terms but was assassinated early in his second, while Bush and JFK each served partial terms.
