Man who made the difference

Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945)

An American who served as the 32nd president of the United States from 1933 to 1945. Roosevelt served longer than any other President in the history of United States. His unprecedented election to four terms in office will probably never be repeated again. The 22nd Constitutional Amendment passed after his death. It declares that no person can not be elected as the President of United States more than twice. His 12 years leadership became a main part of U.S government. He focused on the domestic reforms and made the President office as the center of diplomatic policies.
