Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Roosevelt was the only president who had served for more than 2 terms. He had served for 4 terms. He was a central figure of the 20th century during a time of worldwide economic crisis and world war.
Roosevelt was a charismatic leader who managed to revive his country from the "Great Deprssion" . He was also able to unite his country with flair and lead them out of the crisis strongly.He was also someone with awesome willpower. Even though he had been diagnosed with an illness that paralysed him from his waist down, he refused to believe that he would be paralsyed permantly, and stubornly refused to be seen on a wheelchair in public.He forced himself to walk with the help of iron braces and once in a while, his son or an aide. He was also steadfast in the decisions he made, even though they were sometimes met with furious protests from the public , with the ability to bear criticism and not succumb to overwhelming pressure, he made decisions, that seemed incorrect but changed the nation for the better.Roosevelt never gave up even though the odds were many times against him, remarkably, he guided America out of the depression and war into prosperity, even though he was paralysed.
Of course, Roosevelt is but human,and to err is human. He had an affair outside his marriage, with his wife's social secretary, Lucy Mercer, and at one point was indecisive and was unable to prevent the Holocaust, which killed many.256.
Nevertheless,Franklin Delano was the great leader many can only dream to be. Reflecting on Roosevelt's presidency,"Which brought the United States through the "Great Depression" and "World War II" to a prosperous future" said Roosevelt's biographer Jean Edward Smith in 2007 . "He lifted from a wheelchair to lift the nation from its knees"
