How many presidents have served more than 2 terms/total of 10 years? Who were they?

Only one, FDR.  That was before the 2 term limit.  He served 4 terms for 12 years, and died in office.\n\nBefore Franklin D Roosevelt, serving 8 years was just a tradition.  It started with George Washington, and people were so impressed that a man could just give up power, that they expected it of all presidents.\n\nNow the limit is 8 years.

Yes.  Until the 1930s, Presidents voluntarily limited themselves to 2 terms, following the example of George Washington.  Then the great Liberal Democrat hero, Franklin D. Roosevelt decided he was going to be president for life (died in office during his 4 th term).  So the Constitution was amended in 1951 (the 22nd Amendment) to limit people to two (total) terms.

U Thant of Burma served for 10 years, 1 month.  Kurt Waldheim of Austria and Javier Pérez de Cuéllar of Peru both served for exactly 10 years, and Kofi Annan of Ghana will have served 10 years when he completes his term at the end of this year.

thats too long. means we'd have 12 years of bush. look at what a disaster the last 5 have been. 8 years of clinton & 4 of bush sr.\nthe last 20 years of this nation was ruled by only 3 men, thats bad.

I agree - he would be an excellent President for as long as he chose to serve, however it's not up to him. The Constitution would have to amended, as it currently does not allow anyone to serve more than two elected terms in office, so he will have to retire as of January 20, 2009. Currently, the longest tenure that anyone could serve in office would be three terms - that is if the President died on Inauguration Day, his Vice President would be eligible to serve out the rest of that term, plus two more terms, if he were to be elected on his own. This came about in the late 1940's and early 1950's, as Republicans wanted to prevent anyone from serving as long as Franklin D. Roosevelt did (who served just a tad more than 12 years, dying early in his 4th term).

No, the maximum is 10 years.  8 elected and 2 from having become president from the VP position.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected four\ntimes in a row, because he was an outstanding President. He died during his fourth term having complications from Polio.\n\nIt was later, that a Constitutional Ammendment was added, which restricted a President to serve no more than two terms.

There have been two that I know of:\n\nAndrew Johnson was voted into the Senate in 1874, 6 years after he completed Abraham Lincoln's term of office, and John Quincy Adams was elected to the House of Representatives in 1830, two years after being defeated in his bid for reelection to the Presidency.

The college that has the most presidents as alumni (six in total) is Harvard: J. Adams, J. Q. Adams, T. Roosevelt, F. Roosevelt, Kennedy, and G. W. Bush (business school). Yale is a close second, with five presidents as alumni: Taft, Ford (law school), G.H.W. Bush, Clinton (law school), and G. W. Bush.
