This is a '''list of [[President of the United States|Presidents of the United States]] by time in office'''. |
|||
The basis of the list is the difference between ''dates''; if counted by number of ''calendar days'' all the figures would be one greater, with the exception of [[Grover Cleveland]] who would receive two days. |
|||
According to the [[Twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution|22nd Amendment]], which was ratified in 1951, no President may serve longer than a decade (period of 10 years) (two terms plus a maximum of two years having acceded as President under some other President's term). This means that [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]] will continue to be the first on this list unless the 22nd Amendment is changed or [[repealed]], and some future President is re-elected the requisite number of times, pursuant to such a change or repeal. |
