Notes[change | change source]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 Of years evenly divisible by 100, only those evenly divisible by 400 are leap years. The years 1800 and 1900 are divisible by 100, but not by 400. as a result, the term of Thomas Jefferson (1797–1801) did not include a 366-day leap year, and so was one day shorter than a normal full term, as would have been the term of Garret Hobart (1897–1901) had he lived to finish it. The year 2000 is divisible by 400 and so did include one, thus Al Gore's second term (1997–2001) was not shorter than his first.
- ↑ The 20th Amendment (ratified January 23, 1933) moved Inauguration Day from March 4 to January 20. The 1937 presidential inauguration was the first to take place on the new date. As a result, John Nance Garner's first term in office (1933–1937) was only 1,418 days long, 1 month and 12 days shorter than a normal term.
- ↑ John Adams assumed the office of Vice President 1 month and 17 days after the March 4, 1789 scheduled start of operations of the new government under the Constitution. As a result, his first term (1789–1793) was only 1,461 days long, and was the shortest term for a U.S. vice president who neither died in office nor resigned.
- ↑ 4.0 4.1 Resigned from office
- ↑ 5.0 5.1 5.2 5.3 5.4 5.5 5.6 Died in office
- ↑ 6.0 6.1 6.2 6.3 6.4 6.5 6.6 6.7 6.8 Succeeded to presidency
