AboutTed Nesbitt Expertise I will answer short, to-the-point questions on all aspects of
American politics -- legislative, executive, and judicial for
the federal government and all fifty states. I use the Lexis-Nexis
database for information concerning court cases in the state courts,
the U. S. District Courts, and the U. S. Supreme Court.
I do NOT have the time to work with lengthy problems or to read
and evaluate papers.
Experience I have been politically in a PAC since 1986 and have served state
government in an information capacity since 1980.
I have been a volunteer at the grammar and writing site at allexperts.com for more than two years.
Question Who is the only prez. to serve more than 2 conseuctive terms?
What is the salary of the prez.?
Answer Melanie:
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the ONLY president to be elected to more than two consecutive terms. He was elected to FOUR. He died shortly into his fourth term, and Vice President Harry Truman became the new president.
After that, the Constitution was amended -- "a limit of two terms imposed by the Twenty-second Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in 1951." The Congress felt that two terms were enough and didn't want another very popular president [like Roosevelt] to become president for the rest of his life!
The current salary of the President -- the highest amount paid to any government official -- is $400,000 a year. Of course, he gets the White House to live in, Air Force One to travel in, and ALL KINDS of extras that WE do not get.
