What if FDR was a little bit healthier, and survived into to 50s. Would he get elected for a fifth term? If so, what would FDR's adminstration look like post war? Would the 22nd amendment still be passed?
I doubt he would want a Fifth term. The reason he ran the other 4 is because he wanted to get his job done both with national recovery via the New Deal and World War 2. By the end of term 4, the job is done.

Correct. Roosevelt was tired and in bad health as he sought his fourth, so I would assume that after the end of his fourth, he would be ready to retire to Hyde Park for the rest of his days.
