@SusCalvin FDR wasn't actually the first to go against that tradition. He was simply the first to succeed in being elected to a third (and then fourth) term. The first to try was Ulysses S. Grant. He didn't run for reelection to a 3rd term in 1876, but came back four years later and ran in 1880, but finished second for the Republican nomination. And Grover Cleveland ran for reelection to a 3rd term in 1896, but failed to get the Democratic nomination. And of course, in 1912, Theodore Roosevelt ran for a 3rd term as a 3rd-party candidate after failing to win the Republican nomination.
