So did Harry Truman, long as we're naming names. But technically, they were not 'second terms'; each completed the term of his predecessor, then ran for and was elected President 'in his own right'. Both Truman & LBJ opted not to seek re-election for their own 2nd terms...because they knew that they would lose.

Is there a 'History 101' board we could move this discussion to????

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
