The Return of the One-Term Presidency

Between 1824–1932, the United States had 26 Presidents. From John Quincy Adams to Herbert Hoover. Of those, only three, Andrew Jackson, Ulysses S. Grant and Woodrow Wilson, served two full terms. Two were re-elected, Lincoln and McKinley, but died before the completion of their second term. Grover Cleveland was the only President to be elected twice, non-consecutively. Six died in office and Wilson had a stroke during the last 18 months of his second term and died shortly after leaving the White House.
