William J. Goebel (January 4, 1856 – February 3, 1900) served as Governor of Kentucky for a few days in 1900 before he was shot by a sniper on January 30 as he walked up the steps of the state capitol. He was sworn into office on his deathbed the next day, January 31, and died on February 3. He was the only state governor in the United States to be assassinated.\n\nThis might not qualify as a "US" (federal) politician since he was a state governor, but it's an interesting factoid!

The only one I KNOW of is Ron Paul from Texas, but he runs as a Republican, because he knows he cant win as a Libertarian, but he was a Libertarian.

1. Henry Clay was one. He was a US Senator for Kentucky in 1806 to 1807, 1831 - 1842 and again for 1849 - 1852. He was a Representative from 1810 to 1825, during which he also served as Speaker of the House. \n\n2. Claude Denson Pepper was a US Senator from 1936-1951 and a US Representative from 1963-1989.\n3. John J. Crittenden had 3 separate terms as US Senator, 2 terms as Attorney General. He also was Governor Of Kentucky. After all this, he was elected as a US Representative in 1861.\n\n4. William P Kellog was a US Senator and Governor of Louisiana before becoming a Representative in 1883.\n\n5. Matthew M. Neely from Virginia, was a Senator, then Governor before becoming a Representative for 1 term, thereafter rejoined the Senate.\n\nI could only come up with these 5, there may have been others, I've overlooked.

Only one, FDR.  That was before the 2 term limit.  He served 4 terms for 12 years, and died in office.\n\nBefore Franklin D Roosevelt, serving 8 years was just a tradition.  It started with George Washington, and people were so impressed that a man could just give up power, that they expected it of all presidents.\n\nNow the limit is 8 years.

Bill Clinton.  Not sure of his religion because he did not make a big deal about it.  When he left office the deficit was at 0 (zero).  He tried to get Bin Laden but the republican congress would not allow him.  Ken Starr spent how many millions of dollars to investigate a bj.  I read his book, very interesting reading from a very intelligent and articulate man.

The shortest player in the league right now is Earl Boykins of the Denver Nuggets he is 5'5" but he is African American.  The next shortest guy is Yuta Tabuse he is Japanese and he is 5'9".  There is like a 15 guy tie for white guys at 6'1".  I hope this helps.  Take care.
