Final answer:

Ronald Reagan and Franklin D. Roosevelt were both U.S. presidents who shared a viewpoint on the presidential term limit, as FDR's four-term presidency led to the enactment of the 22nd Amendment which both presidents observed post-ratification.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ronald Reagan and Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) were both presidents of the United States, with Reagan serving as the 40th president from 1981 to 1989 and Roosevelt serving as the 32nd president from 1933 to 1945. Although they served in different eras and had different political ideologies, Reagan, a conservative, and FDR, a liberal, shared a viewpoint concerning the presidential term limit. Roosevelt served an unprecedented four terms in office, which led to the ratification of the 22nd Amendment in 1951, limiting the presidential term to two terms. Reagan served two terms and helped redefine the presidency with strong conservative policies and his principle of "peace through strength" internationally.

Ronald Reagan was the U. S. president from 1981 to 1989. Franklin D. Roosevelt was also a U. S. president. He served from 1933 to his death in 1945.

Both presidents had an interest in serving for more than 8 years, the currently-accepted maximum length for a presidential term. Franklin D. Roosevelt was president four times, due to his popularity and success in restoring the economy after the Great Depression. Serving for two four-year terms had been an unwritten rule since George Washington, but it was not a law, which enabled FDR to stay in power for longer.

After his death, Amendment XXII was passed, limiting the time a president could serve to two periods of four years. However, in 1987, Reagan made public his interest to get rid of this amendment. He argued that the change would not apply to him, but to leaders from then on.
