Franklin Delano Roosevelt was 32nd President of the U.S. He also known by his initial FDR. The only American president selected to more than two terms. He led the United States through second World War, dying at the start of his fourth term presently as victory was near over Germany and Japan. The bipartisan traditional Coalition that formed in 1937 prevented his packing the Supreme Court or passing much new legislation; it abolished many of the release programs when unemployment practically ended during second World War. His goal was to make America the "Arsenal of Democracy" which would provide munitions to the Allies.
