Franklin Roosevelt was the only one to serve more than two terms and will remain the only one unless the Constitution is changed.
Only one and that was Franklin Roosevelt.
United States presidents are elected to terms that last 4 years. George Washington served 2 terms (8 years) setting the precedent for all subsequent presidents until FDR - who was elected to 4 terms but died during his 4th. Shortly thereafter, the Constitution was amended to limit all future presidents to a maximum of 2 terms unless they were first elected vice president and then assumed office when the president they are serving under leaves office with less than half his term remaining. In that case then can finish the unexpired term and then serve two additional full terms for a total of just less than 10 years maximum. No president since FDR has served more than 8 years.
