POPULIST presidential candidate Donald J. Trump makes a comeback as The United States Chief Executive.

On January 20, 2025, Donald J. Trump returns to office, serving as the 47th president of the United States, administering two non-consecutive terms.

The reason behind the misalignment of the inauguration order and president number is simple – Donald Trump has served as president before from (2016-2020), and he’s not the first president to have sat twice in the oval office.

The MAGA-winning candidate secured the 2024 presidential election, securing 312 electoral votes, surpassing the required 270 for a win.

Donald Trump won by a landslide, outdoing his Democrat rival Kamala Harris, who only received 226 electoral votes.

The inauguration takes place on January 20, 2025, at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.

Which presidents had multiple inaugurations?

The United States has had multiple presidents throughout its history who have stepped into office more than once.

The first president, George Washington, was sworn into office twice consecutively following his first inauguration on April 30, 1789, at the balcony of Federal Hall in New York.

In fact, when we look at the history of this more deeply, there have been a total of 14 presidents that have served more than one term, both consecutively and non-consecutively.

If you thought two was more than enough, Franklin D. Roosevelt served four consecutive terms as president from March 4, 1933, to April 12, 1945, until he passed away during his last and final term.

That all changed two years after Roosevelt’s death in April 1945.

The revision of the Twenty-second Amendment

A limit was introduced following the subsequent ascension of Harry S. Truman.

The House of Representatives (the lower chamber of the United States Congress) proposed a resolution to set a limit for how many times someone becomes president.

This was incorporated into the Twenty-second Amendment of the United States Constitution, stating: “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.”

In a nutshell, presidents can only serve two full terms, or, in total, eight years.

Since the revision, several more presidents served more than one term, but all have done so consecutively, with Donald Trump being the exception.

The chronological list includes Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953–1961), Ronald Reagan (1981–1989), Bill Clinton (1993–2001), George W. Bush (2001–2009), and finally, Barack Obama (2009–2017).

Save the date: Trump 2025

Donald Trump has been scheduled to become the 47th president of the United States on January 20, 2025.

In front of a huge crowd of supporters and protesters alike, the 78-year-old businessman will take the oath of office.

However, the public scene has not always been a bed of roses for our future president.

Trump’s controversial status has left him a target amongst many political oppositions.

On July 13, 2024, Trump was targeted in a failed assassination attempt during one of his speeches at an open-air campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania.

The future president was slightly injured and taken to the hospital for his injuries, where he was released the next day.
