Franklin Delano Roosevelt also knows as FDR, was the 32nd President of the United States. He was also the only president ever elected four terms. I think FDR is the best President in US history. Towards the end of his presidency, he lead America through two major crisis: The Great Depression and World War II. Because the Great Depression put many people out of work, and left people starving, coming back from this was a hard task. FDR got America back on its feet.
