The answer is:

4 terms

Franklin D. Roosevelt served 4 terms, specifically from March 4, 1933 to April 12, 1945. Washington's two-term limit became an unwritten rule for all Presidents until 1940, when FDR ran and won for a third term. The amendment was passed by Congress; FDR was the only President to serve more than 2 terms.
