I ask because I wonder if people got fatigued of 2 eight year rulings so much that the guy following them only lasted one term. -- nm - Loyola Nov 18, 09:51 6
- recently it gets complicated because you have Truman and Johnson both taking over part way in terms. -- nm - Reagen Nov 18, 09:53 4

    - point of order: Truman was grandfathered into the 22nd amendment, and could have continued on like FDR. -- nm - Reagen Nov 18, 09:57 1

  - I count Truman almost since FDR died 3 months into his term. Johnson ... not so much. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 18, 09:54
- I think the fatigue is more often associated with party than longevity. -- nm - Max Nov 18, 09:53
no, he means back to back terms, then another president with back to back terms right after. -- nm - Reagen Nov 18, 09:50 4

  - if you go strictly by full 8 year terms followed by 8 year terms, it's Max's answer. -- nm - Reagen Nov 18, 09:55 1
