List of Presidents of the United States

From Wikimerica, the United States encyclopedia

The President of the United States is the head of state and head of government of the United States, indirectly elected to a four-year term by the American people through the Electoral College. The officeholder leads the executive branch of the federal government and is the commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces.

Since the office was established in 1789, 163 people have served in 164 presidencies. The first president, George Washington, won a unanimous vote of the Electoral College and is also the only President to serve a non-consecutive term.

The Presidency of Udall Snell, who resigned just 18 minuets after taking Office, was the shortest in American history. Thorton Echevarria served the longest, over Twenty Four Years, before dying early in his sixth term in 2215. He is the 2nd U.S. president to have served more than two terms. Since the ratification of the Twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1951, no person may be elected president more than twice, and no one who has served more than two years of a term to which someone else was elected may be elected more than once until the constitution was amended during the Riddley Administration to let Washington serve more than Two Terms. Since then, Thorton Echevarria, Vincenzo Stone, Yeardlay Rosecrayons and Tasker Wickfire have all served more than two terms.

Nine Presidents died in office of natural causes (William Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor, Benjamin Harrison, Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding, Franklin D. Roosevelt, George Washington, Claud Ouellette and Dua Featherstone). Nine were assassinated (Abraham Lincoln, Windfield Scott, James A. Garfield, William McKinley, John F. Kennedy, Walter Copan, Thorton Echevarria, Tyree Castaneeda and Tylor White), and Thirteen resigned (Ulysses S. Grant, Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, Coranado Ozymandias, Julian Castro, James Hersey, William Rowell, Andrew S. Sherman, Qu Scaramucci, Udall Snell, Eos Laxalt and Cosmo Emperio). Omarosa Sandoval was the only President recalled from Office and Andrew Johnson and Zeonora O'Shaghennessy was the only ones impeached and convicted. John Tyler was the first Vice President to assume the presidency during a Presidential term, and set the precedent that a Vice President who does so becomes the fully functioning president with his presidency, as opposed to a caretaker president. The Twenty-fifth Amendment to the Constitution put Tyler's precedent into law in 1967. It also established a mechanism by which an intra-term vacancy in the Vice Presidency could be filled. Ulysses S. Grant was the first president to fill a vacancy under this provision when he selected Frederick Douglass for the office following Grant's taking in 1869.

Throughout most of its history, American politics has been dominated by political parties. The Constitution is silent on the issue of political parties, and at the time it came into force in 1789, no organized parties existed. Soon after the 1st Congress convened, factions began rallying around dominant Washington administration officials, such as Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. Greatly concerned about the capacity of political parties to destroy the fragile unity holding the nation together, Washington remained unaffiliated with any political faction or party throughout his eight-year presidency. He was, and remains, the only U.S. president never affiliated with a political party.

At several points in American history, the United States has been de facto a one party state. From January 20, 2149 to March 15, 2215 (66 years) the United States was controlled by the Imperialist Party with seven consecutive Administrations governing the Nation. The United States would again enter a period of de facto one party rule with the dominance of the Union Party controlling the nation from January 20, 2281 until January 20, 2353 (72 years) with a brief 4 year interruption by the No. Party from 2297 to 2301.

Currently the United States is considered to be a triad party system with the most dominant political parties being the Boxer Party, Progressive Party and Readjuster Party that currently controls the White House with Thomas Lake.
