Two Two-Full-Term Presidents in a row

I find this interesting so I thought I'd post it . . .

If Bush serves out his second term, we'll have two two-full-term presidents in a row. I was wondering when the last time it was that this happened. Fate may intervene and he may not serve out the term but the answer is the same even if you look for presidents elected to a second term who followed someone who served two consecutive full terms.

You have to go back to James Monroe, who followed James Madison. In fact with Jeffereson-Madison-Monroe, there were three two-term presidents in a row.

So before 2004, only twice previously has a president who followed a two-consecutive-full-term president won re-election -- Madison and Monroe.

Thank you for pointing this out gently -- I'm sorry for the repeat topic.

I am kind of surprised that this wasn't pointed out by the main stream media -- it seems more important than how the Redskins do in the last home game before the election!
