Which US presidents served only one term?
Three presidents served only one full term but were elected to second terms which they could not complete . - Abraham Lincoln and William McKinley served only a few weeks or months of their second terms before being assassinated, and Richard M Nixon, resigned 19 months into his second term.
Five Presidents - William H Harrison, Zachary Taylor, James A. Garfield, Warren G Harding, and John F. Kennedy - died during their first terms and so had no opportunity to seek a second.
Five Presidents - John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson, Chester A. Arthur, and Gerald Ford - succeeded from the Vice-Presidency but did not win elected terms of their own and so actually served less than one term.
That gives 29 Presidents who were "single-termers" by one definition or another.
Of those 29 U. S. Presidents, the following ten were candidates in more than one presidential election but won only once:
John Adams (won in 1796; lost in 1800)

What is the US Senate retirement plan?
Senators are covered by the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) or Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS). As it is for federal employees, congressional retirement is funded through taxes and the participants' contributions. Under FERS, senators contribute 1.3% of their salary into the FERS retirement plan and pay 6.2% of their salary in Social Security taxes. The amount of a senator's pension depends on the years of service and the average of the highest 3 years of his or her salary. The starting amount of a senator's retirement annuity may not exceed 80% of his or her final salary. In 2006, the average annual pension for retired senators and representatives under CSRS was $60,972, while those who retired under FERS, or in combination with CSRS, was $35,952.[

Did George HW Bush have an affair?
No. There were rumors of an affair with about six women, most notably Fitzgerald, but they are false. The Democrats conjured these allegations in an attempt to soften the blow (no pun intended) to Clinton's extra-martial dalliances
The late Lee Atwater discussed with me that George H W Bush did have a mistress and he had no reason to lie to me or others. He was aware of the lady and said that even Barbara Bush knew of the affair but refused to acknowledge it. He even called her by name "Jennifer". If you read other accounts, you will see that this was not just a rumor and the truth will eventually come out upon the deaths of G H W Bush and B Bush. My conversations with Lee Atwater occurred when I met him while working for Ronald Reagan's campaign - this was well before Bill Clinton's presidency.

Was Anita Hill appointed to the US Supreme Court by President Bush?
No. Anita Hill challenged President George HW Bush's nomination of Justice Clarence Thomas in 1991. Hill had worked for Thomas when he oversaw the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that he had created a hostile work environment through sexual harassment.
Several other women agreed with Hill, but refused to testify; therefore, the Committee determined there was insufficient evidence to support Anita Hill's charges. This resulted in the Judiciary Committee vote being split 7-7 on the issue of recommending approval or rejection to the full Senate, so Thomas' nomination was sent to the floor without any recommendation.
The full Senate confirmed Thomas' appointment by a 52-48 vote, the narrowest margin of approval in more than a century.
Yes. President H.W. Bush ordered the invasion of Panama. Manuel Noriega was convicted of drug smuggling, money laundering, and racketeering.
