Theodore Roosevelt served 6 months short of two terms as US President. He was Vice-President when President McKinley was assassinated. He became President at that time. He was ELECTED to a full term on his own in 1905.
Based upon Amendment Twenty-Two of the Constitution, no person can be elected to the office of President more than twice or serve more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President. Therefore, the total length of time that any person could serve as President is TEN years.
Before the constitution there was NO president. The office of the president was created in the constitution. When Washington took the office the term was unlimited, but he served only two terms. He felt that a man should serve the people for a short time and then go home. This policy was kept by the men who followed him into the office until FDR. Roosevelt served 3 terms and the result was the 22 amendment limiting the terms of the president to two 4 year terms for a total of 8 years.
The constitution forbids any president to serve for longer than two terms now. The duty of a vice president is to become president should the current president die or resign. Thus, someone who has served as president twice is unable to become a vice president because they are forbidden from fulfilling their role and taking a third term.
It was Franklin, NOT Theodore who served beyond two terms. At the time, there were no official term limits for the presidency.
The 32nd President of the United States was Franklin D. Roosevelt. President Roosevelt was elected into office 4 time, and served from March 4, 1933 to April 12, 1945.
Hayes didn't even serve 2 terms, let alone 3. He did not seek re-election after his first term. The only president to have served 3 terms is Franklin Roosevelt (he was elected to four terms, but died a short time into the fourth).
Yes, as long as the one term did not exceed the term of office limit as set forth by the 25th Amendment. Yes if he has served only one term If he has served two terms, then probably not, as he is ineligible to a further term as President, and the 12th Amendment states that "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States".
William Henry Harrison served as president for the shortest time?
Nixon served two terms and resigned the second time, the first to do so. He served 6 years as president.
Whether serving one term, two terms, more terms, or only part of a term, that entire time counts for whoever was in office. In the official numbering, those who served two or more consecutive terms are counted once, and those who served part of a term are counted once, but the one who served nonconsecutive terms is counted twice. 57 is the total number of presidential elections. 38 is the total number of different people who have been elected president. 43 is the total number of different people who have been president. 44 is the official count.
He was Franklin Delano Roosevelt in US.
