To my knowledge, no president had 3. Franklin D. Roosevelt had 4! Actually Franklin D. Roosevelt only served 3 terms in essence. He was president for 12 years and won 3 elections back to back to back. He was the first 3-peat!
Franklin D Roosevelt was the only president to serve more than two terms. He was elected for 4 terms. He took office on March 4, 1933 and continued until he died on April 12,1945, about three months into his 4th term. (After FDR, the constitution has been amended to prevent presidents from serving more than two terms. )
Not in the United States. The shortest tenure was by William Henry Harrison who served just 30 days before he died in office.

He served only 30 days as US President. He died from an illness that caused succession.
