  4. The last time a sitting Senator was elected President was 1960. Since 1964, every person elected President has been a sitting or former governor or VP.

    Former VPs are popular too. Let's go back to FDR and see the highest level of the president's prior experience:

    FDR - Governor

    Truman - VP

    Eisenhower - General

    Kennedy - Senator

    Johnson - VP

    Nixon - VP

    Ford - VP

    Carter - Governor

    Reagan - Governor

    Bush Sr. - VP

    Clinton - Governor

    Bush Jr. - Governor

  5. Senators that have become president:

    Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Jackson, Van Buren, William Harrison, Tyler, Pierce, Buchanan. Andrew Johnson, Benjamin Harrison, Harding, Truman, Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and Nixon

    Governors:

    Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe

    Martin Van Buren, Grover Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Delano Roosevelt

    James Polk, Andrew Johnson Rutherford B Hayes, William McKinley McKinley

    Woodrow Wilson -

    Calvin Coolidge

    James Earl Carter

    Ronald Wilson Reagan

    William Jefferson Clinton

    George Walker Bush

    Two Territorial Governors later became President. They are:

    Andrew Jackson

    William Henry Harrison

        

      

  6. Since 1976, the only president who was not a sitting governor or former governor was George Bush.  While the elder Bush did serve in the House he was never governor.  The previous presidents Ford, Nixon, LBJ, and Kennedy also never served as governors.
