FDR and Eleanor were cousins. In some cultures and some families that is, or was, the way it was done. FDR did not have his marriage annulled of course. He just built a little house for Eleanor her "lady friends", and he had his intimacies as well.
And he was elected to 4 terms in office and managed a world war. A wildly popular President.

And thanks to FDR at Yalta, Stalin absorbed Eastern Europe into the Sovet sphere of influence.
I'm sure that was real popular with the folks in Prague, Berlin, Budapest, etc.

"FDR and Eleanor were cousins."To be fair, they were fifth cousins, once removed. http://www.gwu.edu/~erpapers/teachinger/q-and-a/q6.cfm
