'''Franklin Delano Roosevelt''' was the 32nd [[President of the United States of America]] of the [[United States]] of America, following [[Herbert Hoover]] and preceding [[Harry Truman]].  Roosevelt was a member of the [[Democratic Party]].  He was elected four times and served a few months longer than 3 terms, from 1933-1945, the longest any one man has been president of the United States.  He was elected amidst the uncertainty of the [[Great Depression]].

'''Franklin Delano Roosevelt''' was the only [[President of the United States of America]] who refused to give up power and who exceeded the two-term limit established by [[George Washington]].  A [[Democrat]], Roosevelt was first elected due to the crisis of the [[Great Depression]], a severe economic depression that continued throughout his 12 years in office, from 1933-1945.  A [[Republican]] Congress subsequently passed the [[22nd Amendment]] to prevent anyone from serving three full terms as Roosevelt had.

Although Mr. Roosevelt was very popular at first, it has been argued by scholars and analysts then and now that many [[New Deal]] relief efforts actually helped to prolong the [[Great Depression]].  Mr. Roosevelt started the second wave of the massive expansion of the Federal Government and greatly increased American foreign aid.  Some of these policies were viewed controversially coupled with persistent high level of unemployment in the 1930s as a result and later US involvement in WWII.<ref>http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/presidents/32_f_roosevelt/printable.html</ref>

From his second term the people were told that Roosevelt was the only man who could keep the US out of war. Later, it was asserted that he was the only man who could successfully fight the war that which he alone could keep the US out of. Then it was said that he was the only man who was capable of facing [[Josef Stalin]] on equal terms. Finally, he was said to be the only man who could guarantee against the ruthlessness of Stalin in the post-war era.
