it was the great depression
The Great Depression.
The last president to die in office besides JFK was Franklin D. Roosevelt on April 12, 1945. He died of a massive cerebral hemorrhage.
Besides President Obama (obviously), Franklin Delano Roosevelt was thought to have had Black ancestry. Also, there was said that there was a president before Washington who was African American.
Franklin D Roosevelt (FDR) married Eleanore Roosevelt. FDR was Eleanor's 8th Cousin. This was legal back then . (:
The previous US president to die while serving in office was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who collapsed and died from a cerebral hemorrhage on April 12, 1945.
Ronald Reagan was the only President, besides the four who were killed, to be injured by in an assassination attempts. Gerald Ford and Franklin Roosevelt were fired at but the shots missed them.
The White House did not exist in Franklin's time. When Franklin died in 1790, the seat of the national government was still in Philadelphia. Besides that, Franklin was never president.
Don't think so, but he faced an unusual set of circumstances. Banks were closing and people were loosing deposits. He had to get to work fast.
First, even the president's supporters will agree that it is too early to say if President Obama is a great president. It usually takes years for history to render that judgment. As for what most historians agree with, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington and Franklin Delano Roosevelt are generally considered among the greatest American presidents because of what they did for the country during a very difficult or dangerous time. (Some historians would add Theodore Roosevelt to the list of great presidents, and there are other nominees as well.)
John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Rutherford B. Hayes, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama all went to Harvard
Before he became President, Theodore Roosevelt was a New York state assemblyman, U.S. Civil Service Commissioner, President of New York Board of Police Commissioners, Assisstant Secretary of the Navy, a Lieutenant Colonel and then Colonel in the Spanish-American War, Governor of New York, and Vice-President.

The other president was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who was elected four times. (Back then, there was no amendment limiting presidential terms, although it was customary to only serve two. After Roosevelt died, the 22nd amendment, officially limiting a president to two terms, was ultimately ratified and became law in 1951). President Obama had to take the oath of office twice in January 2009, because the first time, Chief Justice Roberts gave it incorrectly, requiring a "do-over." And in 2013, the president took the oath twice because January 20th (the official inauguration day) fell on a Sunday, so the president was inaugurated in a small private ceremony on the 20th, and then a larger public ceremony occurred the next day, on the 21st.
