- A great start: When beginning a presidency the President needs to make a strong push to show both Congress and the American citizens that they mean business. Right at the beginning of his first term as President, FDR came out with the "New Deal" which was one of the biggest economic reforms our country has ever seen.
- Necessary risks: FDR, during his presidency, took many risks that could have proved to be dangerous for the economy and the country. Many plans within the " New Deal " were risky and could have possible made the situation worse, instead of becoming better. But the risks became necessary as seen in the huge rise in GDP, the drop in Income Equality, and the drop in unemployment.
- Isolation: Though many people disagree isolationism has its benefits. With FDR this is seen in WW II where he refused to join the war, even though he thought that the US needed to be the leader of the "peace-loving nations". By doing this he also held true to the American people, who did not want America to be involved.
- Term limit: Even though most Americans would have voted for FDR a fifth time, it showed that even the government should not be run by a single ideology or person, who could possible not address issues that another candidate would have addressed.
- Lastly a good Judgement: Roosevelt had brought the United States through the war, though he did not live to see it's end, his decisions were very key in providing the best results possible with the least amount of damage to the US. As seen in the fact that the USA was one of the only nations in the world to come out with a higher standard of living than at the start.
