the line "In 1940, he ran successfully for reelection, one entire term before the official implementation of term limits." Seems either oddly worded or outright misleading. The Amendment was a reaction to his tenure, he didn't slip in another term before it came into effect. This should probably reworded to it being the first third term of a US president. Then after the sentence about his fourth term and death, the 22nd Amendement could be mentioned as part of his legacy. Its also more than "one entire term", it only took effect in 1951. — jonas (talk) 16:32, 7 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Ah, I just tried fixing this before checking the talk page and noting someone else had raised the same objection. Agreed, the way it was written was a problem, given that presidential term limits didn't come into effect until several years after his death. CAVincent (talk) 10:02, 15 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

why is the Template:Franklin D. Roosevelt series not included in the article? I remember there was some discussion regarding presidential templates, but its still there for other presidents I checked?
Also, is there a reason why FDR has no separate legacy or public image article like most recent presidents? This article is more readable than some modern ones but some sections could really use more detail explored in a separate article.

I think that Rosevelt's death should have its own separate article, as for the rest of the presidents who died in office. Do I have the green light to make an article about this? DementiaGaming (talk) 21:22, 2 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Franklin D. Roosevelt was the 32nd president of the United States, serving from 1933 until his death in 1945. The longest-serving U.S. president, he is the only president to have served more than two terms. His initial two terms were centered on combating the Great Depression, while his third and fourth saw him shift his focus to America's involvement in World War II.
