From Washington to Trump, all the presidents of the US

From 1789 to 2020, there were 45 presidents of the United States. The first Washington, the last Trump. Four have been assassinated, as many died in office, one resigned. The US was born with the declaration of independence of 1776, recognized seven years later. After the ratification of the American constitution by all thirteen federal states, the Electoral College of the United States of America began the procedure for the first election of the president. On February 4, 1789, George Washington became the first president of the United States of America. He was the only one in the history of the USA to be elected without a single vote contrary. The former general remained in office for eight years, then in his place John Adams.

Democrat Grover Cleveland was the only president in US history to be elected for two non-consecutive terms, interspersed with the presidency of Republican Benjamin Harrison. That means that the presidents were forty-five in total, but in reality, it is forty-four people. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the only US president to hold office for more than two terms. Until then, the US maintained the tradition of not running for a third term, but there was no law in the Constitution that prohibited it. In 1951, however, the 22nd amendment to the Constitution was approved, which expressly prohibits serving as president for more than two terms. Four presidents have been assassinated, Lincoln and JFK the most notorious, as many have died during the term, the last F.D. Roosevelt while one Nixon has resigned.
