To add more to this, FDR (wheelchair, glasses, sound familiar?) died of a cerebral hemorrhage on April 12, 1945.  He's the only President to have gone 3 terms (12 years), from 1933-1945.\nHarry Truman succeeded him right before the Germans surrendered, as he was Vice-President at the time of FDR's death.

John Quincy Adams\n\nThe earliest known photograph of a president of the United States is a faint and scratched daguerreotype likeness of John Quincy Adams, who served as chief executive from 1825 to 1829 and later as a member of Congress until his death in office in 1848. This likeness of the former President Adams was taken at the gallery of Bishop and Gray in early August 1843 in Utica, New York. President Adams, then 76 years old, was returning from a visit to Niagara Falls and stopped at Utica to see an old friend, Judge Ezeikiel Bacon. In his diary for August 1, 1843, Adams remarked, “Four daguerreotype likenesses of my head were taken, two of them jointly with the head of Mr. Bacon. All hideous.” Adams continued his diary entry the following day, “At seven this morning Mr. Bacon came and I went with him to the Shadow Shop, where three more Daguerreotype likeness were taken of me, no better than those of yesterday. They are all too true to the original.”2

William Harrison in 1841\n\nWilliam Henry Harrison served the shortest time of any American President -- only thirty-two days. He also was the first President from the Whig Party. He had won his nickname, "Old Tip," as the tough commanding general of American forces who defeated hostile Native Americans at the Battle of Tippecanoe in the Ohio River Valley in 1811

WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON (1841-1841) and BENJAMIN HARRISON (1889-1893) were grandfather and grandson. The elder Harrison is famous for the brevity of his term: he died after one month in office, the victim of a bad cold contracted at his inaugural. 13 other men held the office of president between the two Harrisons -- the largest span for any of the closely-related presidents. The younger Harrison also has the distinction of serving his one term between the two terms of Grover Cleveland (1885-1889 and 1893-1897).

Franklin Pierce, U.S. President \n\nBorn: 23 November 1804 \nBirthplace: Hillsboro, New Hampshire \nDied: 8 October 1869 \nBest Known As: President of the United States, 1853-1857 \n\nFranklin Pierce was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1832, and later moved to the U.S. Senate in 1837. Not so fond of Washington politics, he resigned from the Senate in 1842 and returned to New Hampshire to practice law. He turned down political offers to serve in the Mexican War, and was eventually made a Brigadier General. In 1852 he attended the Democratic national convention and, much to his surprise, won the nomination and the election. He tried unsuccessfully to promote conciliation between the North and the South and served only one term, losing in 1856 to James Buchanan.

Under the Articles of Confederation or the Constitution? I believe there were 7 presidents under the Articles of Confederation before George Washington. Actually there were 10. Samuel Huntington was first.

Under the original Articles of Confederation, John Hanson was the first President of the United States, an oft-forgotten historical figure.  Under the Constitution of the United States, the presidential system we usually think about, George Washington was the first president, and the only one never to reside in the White House.
