Answer to why Truman left office.Truman was FDR's last Vice-President. FDR was innaugurated in March 1945. He died the following month, on April 12th.

Truman served almost two complete terms. Until his predecessor, FDR, no president served more than two terms. This practice was established by our first President, George Washington. (This limitation is now part of our constitution.)

Additionally, Truman had committed the US in the Korean War. This conflict became very unpopular and Truman was vilified as a result. He barely won the 1948 election. His approval ratings were about as low as President Bush's is today.
