The terms of the President, Vice President, and Congress coincided from 1789 to 1933, with the former ending on March 4 and the latter ending on March 3. After the 20th amendment to the Constitution was ratified in 1933, this was altered. Unless Congress specifies a different day by law, January 3rd became the date of Congress meetings starting in 1934, and January 20th became the date of the presidential term beginning in 1937.

As a result of this modification, there are now three Congresses that coincide with a presidential term, albeit the third only does so for a few weeks.

How many presidents have been impeached in American history? Who were they?

Three presidents have been impeached in American history. They were Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.

Does impeachment remove a US president from office?

A sitting president cannot be removed from office by the House of Representatives alone through impeachment. A trial is held in the Senate following the House's vote and passage of the articles of impeachment.Only if they are found guilty during this trial will the president be removed from office. Since the Senate has always found each president innocent, no president has ever been removed from office as a result of impeachment.

Can a US president hold office for 10 years?

It is true that a US president can serve a ten-year term. This is only possible if a vice president assumes office with two years remaining in their term and goes on to win two elections. However, the vice president is only eligible to run for office once more if they hold office for more than two years during the previous president's term.

How many US presidents have been from the Republican party and how many have been from the Democratic party?

Nineteen US presidents have been from the Republican party, while sixteen have been from the Democratic party.

How much does the president of the United States make in a year?

The annual salary of the President of the United States is $400,000. They also receive a $100,000 nontaxable travel account, a $50,000 annual expense account, and $19,000 for entertainment. After leaving their position, they also get a pension.

The First US President: George Washington

He was raised in a family of planters in Virginia and acquired the values, etiquette, and knowledge necessary to be a gentleman in the eighteenth century. He was born in 1732.

He was interested in both western expansion and military arts. At sixteen, he assisted Thomas, Lord Fairfax, in surveying the Shenandoah region. Appointed as a lieutenant colonel in 1754, he participated in the initial engagements of the eventual French and Indian War. The following year, while serving as General Edward Braddock's aide, he avoided harm despite having two horses shot out from under him and his coat torn by four bullets.

Fun fact: Washington had terrible, decaying teeth so he wore dentures made from (among other things) ivory, spring, and brass screws.

Current US President (46th President): Joe Biden

The first of Catherine Eugenia Finnegan Biden and Joseph Robinette Biden, Sr.'s four children, Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The Biden family relocated to Claymont, Delaware, in 1953. President Biden served on the New Castle County Council after earning degrees from Syracuse Law School and the University of Delaware.

Biden declared his intention to run for president of the United States on April 25, 2019. Three pillars served as the foundation for Biden's campaign from the start: the fight for our country's soul, the need to rebuild the middle class, which is the backbone of our nation, and the demand for unity to act as One America. A pandemic, an economic crisis, pressing demands for racial justice, and the existential threat of climate change would only make this message more relevant in 2020.

At age 78, Biden became the oldest president in the history of the US. Previously, this title was held by Reagan who was 77 when he left office.
