'''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 tradition that Presidents before that time had held.  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.
