Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) was the 32nd president of the United States, from 1933 until his death in 1945, and the only U.S. president to serve an unprecedented four terms. He married his fifth cousin Anna Eleanor Roosevelt in 1905, and together the couple became two of the most central figures in world events during the 20th century, with FDR eventually enacting the New Deal Coalition that defined modern liberalism in the U.S. In 1921, Roosevelt contracted polio, and his legs became permanently paralyzed. Unstoppable even after that, FDR is revered as one of the nation's greatest presidents.
