DonRocks Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Here is a list, ordered by descending frequency, of the official offices U.S. Presidents held prior to becoming U.S. President, along with the year in which the most-recent example began their Presidential term. As of this writing, there have been 44 U.S. Presidents, including Grover Cleveland who is on the list twice due to a gap between terms: 14 - U.S. Vice-President (1989) 10 - State Governor (2001) 5 - U.S. Senator (2009) 4 - U.S. Armed Forces General (1953) 3 - U.S. Secretary of State (1825) 2 - U.S. Minister (1857) 2 - U.S. Representative (1881) 1 - U.S. Secretary of Commerce (1929) 1 - U.S. Secretary of War (1909) 1 - U.S. President (1893) 1 - Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army (1789) --- 44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRocks Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Add: 1 - No Office (2017)--45 This is the first time in 64 years (while "Separate but Equal" was still the law) the President-elect wasn't previously a Vice-President, Senator, or Governor - it would be longer than that, had it not been for Five-Star General, Dwight Eisenhower.
