Actually Roosevelt II would be FDR. I’ve never heard anyone just call him “Franklin.”

I’m surprised Hillary didn’t launch her campaign using her hyphenated name-- Hillary Rodham-Clinton, with the request to media that she be called “President Rodham-Clinton” once she took office. Would be a nice distinguishing feature, plus a nod to her own roots.
