President Harry Truman was President from April 1945 to January 1953, when President Dwight D. Eisenhower took over; a period of 8 years. He was Senator and Vice-President before he became President. I do know not how long he held political office in the other jobs.
Harry S. Truman became President of the United States on April 12, 1945, upon the sudden death in office of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Truman, as was typical of vice presidents of the time, had been deliberately kept completely out of the policy loop and was even unaware of the U.S. effort to obtain an atomic bomb. He had been Vice President for only 82 days when the presidency was suddenly thrust upon him. Shortly after taking his oath of office, Truman spoke to reporters:
"Boys, if you ever pray, pray for me now. I don't know if you fellas ever had a load of hay fall on you, but when they told me what happened yesterday, I felt like the moon, the stars, and all the planets had fallen on me."
