	This is very surprising how often a succeeding president only serves one term in office. I'm glad you didn't put Roosevelt-Truman as a choice. That certainly would have thrown me.

	We are in the midst of a 36-year run with only one one-term president (Bush 41). The same thing happened in 1800-1836 with only JQ Adams serving one term.

	It's terribly interesting how all of the correct answers would also fit if the quiz were about three consecutive two-term presidents.

	I never realized, until this quiz, that only two presidents (McKinley, Lincoln) died during their second term in office. The others (Harrison, Taylor, Garfield, Harding, JFK) went pretty quickly or else hung on for much longer (FDR).

	What about Roosevelt-Roosevelt?

	Who is going to be the next John Quincy Adams?

	Gotta admire the 11th President, James K. Polk. He got elected, accomplished all he wanted to accomplish, and felt no need to run for a second term.

	Next time I might want to read the instructions before playing these quizzes. Got me on Johnson - Nixon.

	But "George Bush Sr." and "George Bush Jr." aren't their names. They are "George H.W. Bush" and "George W. Bush." Also, I don't see how it is confusing at all -- because, as you said, they're all listed in chronological order.

	Incredible that consecutive two-term presidents have only come in groups of three: Jefferson, Madison & Monroe and Clinton, Bush & Obama.

	"nwtider:We are in the midst of a 36-year run with only one one-term president (Bush 41)." Don't you mean 32 year run, Carter was only one term?

	danonwis:	Apr 24th, 2013 at 10:52 GMT		3 points
	Really what we have are two runs in our history with 3 consecutive 2 term presidents rather than any runs of 2 consecutive two term presidents.

	The instructions are a little confusing (and unnecessary) with regard to being elected to two terms. I guess the author is trying to include the current President, since we don't know whether he will finish the 2nd term, but since the instructions could imply another combination that is not a correct answer (Lincoln/Grant, who were both elected President twice, in consecutive elections), it creates confusion.

	Hejman:	Apr 24th, 2013 at 14:26 GMT		3 points
	@BrentH- Lincoln and Grant do NOT count because they aren't consecutive presidents. Johnson divides them.

	moviegoer74:	Apr 24th, 2013 at 15:27 GMT		5 points
	@Charles...no, nwtider was correct. It's been 32 years so far, but we are "in the midst" of a 36 year run from 1981 (when Reagan took office) to 2017 (when Obama's successor will take office [barring some tragedy or scandal bringing Obama's presidency to a premature end]).
