Franklin D. Roosevelt (Cherry, Plum, and Chrysanthemum)

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945), commonly known by his initials FDR, was an American lawyer and statesman who served as the 29th President of the United States. He is the only president to be elected for four consecutive terms and the second longest-serving U.S. President just behind his fifth cousin, Theodore Roosevelt.

Roosevelt dominated the American political scene during the twelve years of his presidency, and his policies and ideas continued to have significant impacts for decades afterward. He was a central figure in world events during the mid-20th century, leading the United States during a time of worldwide economic depression and total war. A dominant leader of the Progressive Party, he built a New Deal Coalition that united labor unions, big city machines, white ethnics, and African Americans, and dominated American politics for about 40 years.
