According to the White House: "In 1928 Roosevelt became Governor of New York." Not 1929,yet this article says 1929.https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/presidents/franklin-d-roosevelt/ UnsungHistory (talk) 18:31, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

the line "In 1940, he ran successfully for reelection, one entire term before the official implementation of term limits." Seems either oddly worded or outright misleading. The Amendment was a reaction to his tenure, he didn't slip in another term before it came into effect. This should probably reworded to it being the first third term of a US president. Then after the sentence about his fourth term and death, the 22nd Amendement could be mentioned as part of his legacy. Its also more than "one entire term", it only took effect in 1951. — jonas (talk) 16:32, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I just tried fixing this before checking the talk page and noting someone else had raised the same objection. Agreed, the way it was written was a problem, given that presidential term limits didn't come into effect until several years after his death. CAVincent (talk) 10:02, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

why is the Template:Franklin D. Roosevelt series not included in the article? I remember there was some discussion regarding presidential templates, but its still there for other presidents I checked?

Also, is there a reason why FDR has no separate legacy or public image article like most recent presidents? This article is more readable than some modern ones but some sections could really use more detail explored in a separate article.

— jonas (talk) 16:38, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think that Rosevelt's death should have its own separate article, as for the rest of the presidents who died in office. Do I have the green light to make an article about this? DementiaGaming (talk) 21:22, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Franklin D. Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945) was the 32nd president of the United States, serving from 1933 until his death. He was the longest-serving U.S. president and the only one to serve more than two terms in office. His first two terms were centered on combating the Great Depression, while his third and fourth saw him shift his focus to America's involvement in World War II. This official photographic portrait of Roosevelt was taken in Hyde Park, New York, for his 1944 presidential election campaign. Photograph credit: Leon A.

It's decades since I've read a biog of FDR. I vaguely remembered that he began his political career in the New York State Senate. Did he not have a shot at getting the nomination for the US Senate in 1912, only to lose out to the Tammany Hall machine? Or is my memory playing tricks on me? It all became academic when he was appointed Assistant Secretary for the Navy by Woodrow Wilson. Paulturtle (talk) 20:03, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A quick trawl of wikipedia reveals that there was no US Senate election from New York State in 1912. This may be a muddled recollection on my part of the events of 1910-11 in which (State Senator) FDR blocked the Tammany candidate, resulting in the nomination of a different candidate for the 1911 United States Senate election in New York. Maybe FDR was suspected of wanting the US Senate seat himself, or having longer-term aspirations to do so had he not joined the Wilson Administration. Might be worth checking a biography if somebody has one to hand.Paulturtle (talk) 03:21, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
