Just call me a student of history. Truman was a special case, as the the 22nd Amendment (limiting Presidents to 2 elected terms or 10 total potential years) would have DQed him in 1952 (after the last 3 years of FDR's 4th term and his own term) had it not explicitly excluded him. Wilson and Cleveland served 2 full terms, though Cleveland's terms were separated by a loss (thus making him the Ultimate Comeback Kid). Thanks for reminding me about Coolidge; I forgot about him in my first look at this.

I'm not so sure:

Amendment XXII
...But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President, when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

I read that to mean that the amendment didn't apply to Truman in any way.

I did in fact consider the the 22nd Amendment, which is why I left Eisenhower, Reagan and Clinton off the list.
