42. FDR served 3 terms, was elected to a 4th...
...and died in the first few months of his fourth term.

After his death, they passed a term limit for the presidency. You could be elected to two terms or serve no more than 10 years. Hence, LBJ could have ran again in 1968, even though he served the last 15 months and was elected in 1964.
