Trump Isn’t First To Be Second: Grover Cleveland Set Precedent Of Non-consecutive Presidential Terms

By DEEPTI HAJELA, Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — On the list of U.S. presidents, several have been tapped by voters to serve for more than one term, with Donald Trump joining the group as the 45th president and now the 47th, too. But only one other American president did it the way Trump will — with a gap of four years between terms. That was Grover Cleveland, who served as the 22nd president after the 1884 election, and as the 24th president after the campaign of 1892. Former President Donald Trump returns to the White House after clinching victory Wednesday morning.
