Off-topic tidbit -- Eisenhower was the first Republican president since Ulysses S. (Hiram Ulysses, really) Grant to be elected to two terms in his own right (iow, not as VP succeeding the POTUS dying in office) and serve them out.
No. Eisenhower was the first Republican since Grant to serve his full two terms. William McKinley was assassinated in 1901, while serving his second term.
