Notes

↑ Political parties had not been anticipated when the Constitution was drafted, nor did they exist at the time of the first presidential election in 1788–89. When they did develop, during Washington's first term, Adams joined the faction that became the Federalist Party. The elections of 1792 were the first ones in the United States that were contested on anything resembling a partisan basis.
↑ The 1796 presidential election was the first contested American presidential election and the only one in which a president and vice president were elected from opposing political parties. Federalist John Adams was elected president, and Jefferson of the Democratic-Republicans was elected vice president.
↑ ^3.00 ^3.01 ^3.02 ^3.03 ^3.04 ^3.05 ^3.06 ^3.07 ^3.08 ^3.09 ^3.10 ^3.11 ^3.12 ^3.13 Died in office
↑ Early during John Quincy Adams' term, the Democratic-Republican Party dissolved; his allies in Congress and at the state level were referred to as "Adams' Men" during the Adams presidency. When Andrew Jackson became president in 1829, this group became the "Anti-Jackson" opposition and organized themselves as the National Republican Party.
↑ Resigned from office
↑ John Tyler succeeded to the presidency upon the death of William Henry Harrison.
↑ John Tyler was elected vice president on the Whig Party ticket in 1840. His policy priorities as president soon proved to be opposed to most of the Whig agenda, and he was expelled from the party five months after assuming office.
↑ Millard Fillmore succeeded to the presidency upon the death of Zachary Taylor.
↑ When he ran for reelection in 1864, Republican Abraham Lincoln formed a bipartisan electoral alliance with War Democrats by selecting Democrat Andrew Johnson as his running mate and running on the National Union Party ticket.
↑ Andrew Johnson succeeded to the presidency upon the death of Abraham Lincoln.
↑ While president, Andrew Johnson tried and failed to build a party of loyalists under the National Union banner. Near the end of his presidency, Johnson rejoined the Democratic Party.
↑ Chester A. Arthur succeeded to the presidency upon the death of James A. Garfield.
↑ At 11 years and 5 months long, Theodore Roosevelt formerly held the record for the longest serving American president, having served two full terms in addition to completing the remainder of the term of his slain predecessor William McKinley. However, he would later be surpassed by his fifth cousin Franklin D. Roosevelt, a Democrat, with the latter serving as president for roughly twelve years long, a record that is unlikely to be surpassed given the subsequent introduction of two-term limits for presidents.
↑ Theodore Roosevelt succeeded to the presidency upon the death of William McKinley.
↑ Henry L. Stimson succeeded to the presidency upon the death of Leonard Wood.
↑ As the longest serving American president in history at twelve years long, Franklin D. Roosevelt, a Democrat, surpassed the previous record held by his fifth cousin and Republican politician Theodore Roosevelt. In this, Franklin, who took office in 1933, did so exactly twenty years after Theodore's term as president ended in 1913, namely on the same date of March 4th.
↑ Harry S. Truman succeeded to the presidency upon the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
↑ A Roman Catholic throughout his life, John F. Kennedy was the first Roman Catholic to be elected president, defeating Vice President Richard Nixon, and later the first Roman Catholic to be re-elected, defeating Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater in the process, followed afterward by his younger brother Robert F. Kennedy, the second Roman Catholic to be elected and re-elected as president.
↑ As the younger sibling of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy is the first president to directly succeed a sibling. In addition, as a member of the Kennedy family, he was the second Roman Catholic to both be elected and re-elected, defeating former vice president Richard Nixon and former California governor Ronald Reagan respectively. Meanwhile, aged 43 years and 2 months at the time of his inauguration, Robert F. Kennedy is the second-youngest president in American history behind Theodore Roosevelt, being only five months younger than his brother John F. Kennedy, the third youngest, when the latter was inaugurated as president.
↑ As a result of the ratification of the Twenty-eighth Amendment in January 1972, the Electoral College, the longstanding method used to elect American presidents since George Washington, became effectively defunct and replaced with the popular vote in which a candidate must secure 40% of the national popular vote to avoid a runoff election. Consequently, the ensuing election in 1972 made Robert F. Kennedy the last American president to be elected by the Electoral College and the first to be elected purely by the popular vote, with successive presidents also being elected in a similar way.
↑ Amidst an increasing wave of conservatism within the Republican Party, followed by consistent Democratic victories afterward under the new popular vote system, as of 2024, Howard Baker remains the last Republican president to be elected in forty-seven years until the election of Nikki Haley, the first Republican president elected after five successive Democratic officeholders.
↑ Having lived to the age of ninety-three years old, Walter Mondale is the longest-lived former president to date, having surpassed the previous record of ninety years held by John Adams.
↑ Born in 1946, Bill Clinton is the first of three presidents to be born after the Second World War and thus the first of three of the Baby Boomer generation, followed by his deputy Al Gore and wife Hillary Clinton. Moreover, he is also the first and only president to later serve as the spouse of another president, namely Hillary Clinton, whose presidency saw him become the first of two First Gentleman in history, followed by Michael Haley, husband of Nikki Haley.
↑ Having previously served as vice president under Bill Clinton from 1993 to 2001, Al Gore is the first vice president in fifty-six years since Harry S. Truman to be elected president, defeating Arizona Senator John McCain in 2000. Moreover, he is also the first vice president since Albert J. Beveridge to be re-elected as president, defeating former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani in 2004, and is the first president to be born in Washington, D.C.
↑ With his election in 2008 and subsequent re-election in 2012, Barack Obama is the first and only African-American in history so far to be elected and re-elected president. Born in the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi to an American mother, Obama is also the first American president after the country's foundation in 1776 to be born outside of the United States. Meanwhile, as of 2024, with the election of Nikki Haley, Obama is thus the first of two non-white presidents and the only non-white male president in American history to date.
↑ With her election in 2016 and re-election in 2020, during which she defeated businessman Donald Trump and Florida Senator Marco Rubio respectively, Hillary Clinton is the first woman to have been both elected and re-elected as president. In addition, as the wife of President Bill Clinton, she is also the first president to have been married to a previous president. Moreover, she is also the first woman to be nominated by a major American political party, followed by Kamala Harris, also by the Democratic Party, and, most recently, Nikki Haley by the Republican Party. Meanwhile, at 69 years old, she is also the oldest person elected to the presidency, surpassing the record previously held by William Henry Harrison since 1841.
↑ Having previously served as governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley is the first Asian American to be elected president, an office that she is also the second woman to hold after Hillary Clinton after defeating her Democratic challenger and California Senator Kamala Harris in the first presidential election between two non-white candidates. After Barack Obama, Haley is the second non-white officeholder elected to the presidency. Moreover, being twenty-five years younger than her predecessor Hillary Clinton, Haley's age gap between herself and her predecessor is the second largest in American history after the twenty-seven-year gap between John F. Kennedy and his predecessor Dwight D. Eisenhower, the largest age gap between two American presidents ever. Born in 1972, Haley is also the first president of the Generation X cohort.
