This thread is for the discussion of United States Presidents, Presidential Elections, and other political discussions.
There have been 44 U.S. presidents. Barack Obama, the incumbent president, is now serving his second and final term. Each president can only serve two terms, according to the 22nd amendment. The only president to serve more than 2 terms was
Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was elected to 4 terms before the 22nd amendment was ratified.
If a president dies while in office, the Vice President becomes president to finish their term. They may then run again for 2 more terms, but a previous Vice-President has never been elected to a 2nd full term.
There are two main political parties in America, the Democratic Party, and the Republican Party. There are other third-party political parties, such as the Green Party, and the Libertarian Party.
Not all presidents are good presidents. Some of the worst presidents, according to most people, are James Buchanan, Warren G. Harding, Ulysses S. Grant, Martin Van Buren, Franklin Pierce, and Andrew Johnson. Some of the best, according to most people, are Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Ronald Reagan.
Every day, I will provide a "President of the Day." title to one president. Once 44 days pass, I'll start over again.
Discuss the U.S. Presidents, Presidential Elections, and etc.
