Grover Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms in office. William Henry Harrison spent the shortest time in office, dying 31 days after taking office in 1841. Franklin D. Roosevelt served the longest, over twelve years, before dying early in his fourth term in 1945. FDR is the only US President to have served more than two terms. The 22nd Amendment was established for limiting Presidential terms to two terms, This was passed by Congress in 1947 and ratified by the states in 1951.
