How many democrats have served as president?

Answer 1

14

I would say nine : Cleveland, Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy,Lyndon Johnson, Carter, Clinton and Obama. Andrew Jackson's Democratic Party elected Jackson, Van Buren, Polk, Pierce and Buchanan, so you get 14 if you add them in to the total. However, the Jackson Democrats split in 1860 and lost all its Southern membership. After the war, a new opposition party arose in 1868 to counter the Republicans and became the modern Democratic Party. It really had few ties to the Jackson Democrats except the name.

Answer 2

60 years- The modern, Democratic candidate won 15 presidential elections. They won in 1884,1892,1912,1916,1932, 1936,1940, 1944,1948,1960,1964,1976,1992,

1996 and 2008.

(Jackson's Democratic party which disbanded before the Civil War, ruled for 24 years, having won in 1828,1832,1836,1844,1852 and 1856, running against the Whig party .)

Answer 3

Five Van Buren, Polk, Pierce, Buchanan, Kennedy (due to assassination), Carter. Cleveland had two non-consecutive terms, so might be regarded as having been a one-term President twice. LB Johnson served part of Kennedy's term, plus one in his own right Tyler and A Johnson had been Democrats for most of their political lives, but were not elected on Democratic tickets.

Answer 4

I count five - Grover C leveland,Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. Lyndon Johnson and Harry Truman were elected as incumbents but they first got into office because they were vice-president when the President died, so they were not really re-elected as President and they did not serve two full terms. Grover Cleveland actually failed to be re-elected but ran again in four years and won his second try for re-election. However, he is usually counted as two presidents, so perhaps he was not re-elected but rather elected twice. Andrew Jackson,who belonged to the pre-Civil War Democrats was also re-elected-- count him if you want, but I consider him to belong to a different party.

Answer 5

Barack Obama is the 15th member of the Democratic Party to be U. S. President while a member of the party.

Answer 6

Jackson's Democrats ruled for 24 years. After the Civil War, Democrats have been in office for a total of 59 yearsand about 6 months.
