Who was the last US president that had an opportunity to serve more than 8 years as president?

The only US President to serve more than 8 years in the office was Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945), the 32nd President, who served from March 4, 1933 until his death on April 12, 1945. He was elected four times and served for a term of 12 years and 39 days. The 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution was ratified in 1951 and (presumably) restricts eligibility of a President to a maximum of 10 years in office : up to 2 years following succession of a previous President, and 8 years in two full elected terms. Because of conflicting language in the 12th and 22nd Amendments, this might not preclude situations where a President again serves following his prescribed two-elected-term limit.

How many terms of presidency?
FDR was elected to 4 terms. After he died during his fourth term, the Congress passed a law. The President of the USA can serve no more than 2 full terms as President (if he/she is Vice President to a President that dies in office, then they can serve the remaining term as President and serve an additional two terms in office). Therefore President Harry Truman could serve two full terms as President in addition to the term he finished up for FDR. (HST only ran for more term). LBJ could serve as two full terms plus the term he was Vice President for JFK. LBJ only served one full term as President. He did not run again in 1968.
