The third American president was Thomas Jefferson, who was the vice president while the person before him, John Adams, was president. He was president for 8 years from 1801 to 1809.
Gerald Ford was the only president to ever lock himself out of the white house :)
Probably Eleanor Roosevelt. Her husband Franklin D. Roosevelt was the only president to serve four terms. And while he died in the midst of his fourth, Eleanor was first lady throughout his first three terms (12 years) and several years into his fourth. It should be noted that no first lady will ever serve for that long again. In 1951, the constitution was amended so that presidents may not serve more than two terms.
No- having already served two terms, he can not be president again. ( Unless the Constitution is changed_
Yes, Bill Clinton served as the 42nd President of the United States from 1993 to 2001.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt served a total of four terms which was the most a President had ever served. His four terms also lead to the creation of the 22nd amendment for limited terms of all presidents. Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected U.S. President four times, and he served a total of twelve years and 39 days until his death in April, 1945.
No US president ever served for that long.
No, a President is only allowed 2 terms in office. President FDR was the only President that served more than two terms. He died in office in 22 April 1945. Vice President Harry Truman was elevated to the office of President the same day that FDR died.
No US President has ever served 4 full terms. The only President to serve more than 2 terms was Franklin Delano Roosevelt. FDR was elected 4 times (1932, 1936, 1940, 1944) but died just 4 months into his 4th term, in April, 1945.
14 - nine were vice-presidents that became president when the president died or resigned, and five served out their full terms as elected vice-president, then ran for president and won.
No. The longest most Presidents have served is 8 years, and Franklin D. Roosevelt was in office for just over 12 years. Even if someone had been U. S. President for 10 years, he would not have served a 10-year term. All U. S. Presidential terms are and have been 4 years. Those who served more than 4 years served multiple terms.
There has only been one: Grover Cleveland. He was the only President to ever serve nonconsecutive terms: the 22nd and 24th (1885-89) (1893-97).He was well known to be honest, independent, and opposed to corruption and the spoils system. He had a motto, "A public office is a public trust," which demonstrated his stubborn courage and integrity.
Ever since the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution was ratified on February 27, 1951, no president can serve more than two (2) terms. Since that ratification, only three (3) presidents have served two full terms: Eisenhower, Reagan and Clinton. George W. Bush will become the fourth president to have served two full terms upon completion of this current term which runs through January 20, 2009. The only president elected to serve more than two terms was Roosevelt.
Thomas Jefferson served four years as vice-president and two terms as President. No other president that served two full terms was ever vice-president. Theodore Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge , Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson all served at least two years as vice president, became President and then were elected to one term of their own, but none served two full terms as President. Franklin Roosevelt ran for vice president but was not elected.
Dolley , of course, served as White House hostess for her husband's two terms. She previously served as an occasional hostess for Jefferson, who was a widower, She was active in Washington social life while Van Buren was president, but I am not sure she ever hosted at the White House.
