REESE REPORT- Recent KOREAN/JAPANESE Studies Show Self-Assembly Nanobots in the COVID-19 Injectables

Research from Korea and Japan confirm previous reports of nanotech in the COVID-19 injectables - https://gregreese.substack.com/ Recently published research from Korea and Japan confirm previous reports we’ve heard of nanotech in the COVID-19 injectables. Contents of the COVID-19 injectables produced by Pfizer and Moderna were examined under a stereo-microscope at four-hundred-times magnification. Specimens were cultured in different media to observe the effect they had on living cells. The study concluded that the anomalous injuries that have occurred worldwide since the injectables were “pressed upon billions of individuals,” were caused by the nanotechnology contents of the COVID-19 injectables. The research found cellular toxicity, and over the course of a few weeks, simple one dimensional structures grew into complex three dimensional structures. Numerous artificial self-assembling nano-sized objects of many different shapes. Including animated worm-like entities, discs, chains, spirals, tubes, and right-angle structures containing other artificial structures within them. Some structures even “seemed to appear and then disappear over time.” All of this was found to be well “beyond any expected and acceptable levels of contamination.” This was first reported on nearly three years ago by Ricardo Delgado and La Quinta Columna, out of Spain. Who found a relationship between the nano-tech and 5G “The Fifth Column recently published their findings and conclusions on the strange self-assembling nano tech they discovered in the Pfizer mRNA vaccines via Optical Microscopy Analysis. The objects they found in the vaccine correspond with known items in the scientific record. And the conclusion they come to seems quite clear, that the well documented scientific goal to use nanotechnology in living human beings to form networks capable of controlling several nanomachines, is currently being deployed in the COV-19 vaccines” ~ Greg Reese “5G Powered Graphene Based Nano-Tech in the Pfizer Vaccine” (2022) 5G towers were fired up for the first time in Wuhan the same time they were reportedly experiencing a COVID-19 outbreak. David Icke said there was a relationship between COVID-19 and 5G back in 2020. And it got him banned. Using Dark-field microscopy, Doctor Ana Maria Mihalcea has found these same artificial nano-structures in the blood of both those who got the COVID-19 injectables, and those who did not. Decades ago, Silicon Valley guru Ray Kurzweil, said that by 2045, most of human civilization will be non-biological machines thanks to the advancements of nano-robots which could cure aging and death.While talk of mRNA is making it easily into the mainstream, the nano-tech is being ignored. According to the work at La Quinta Columna, there is no mRNA spike protein. According to their research, it’s all about the nano-tech. Which they recently reported can be “totally destroyed” by a nicotine mixture derived from tobacco and distilled water.

Do Genetic Studies Refute the Etruscans’ Anatolian Origin?

Do Genetic Studies Refute the Etruscans’ Anatolian Origin?

  The origin of the Etruscans is something that has fascinated researchers for many years. In fact, there was even some debate about it in antiquity, although the vast majority of ancient writers accepted that they came from Anatolia. Herodotus is the earliest source of this tradition.   With the benefit of modern science, we do not have to rely on ancient writings, nor even on archaeology, which is often difficult to interpret. What have genetic studies revealed about the origin of the Etruscans? Do they refute or support their legendary Anatolian origin?   Early Support for the Anatolian Origin of the Etruscans Map based on Herodotus’ description of the world in his time. Source: Wikimedia Commons   When genetic studies first started to be used to investigate the identity of the Etruscans, they appeared to reveal striking support for their Anatolian origin. Many news articles were written about how science had confirmed the veracity of Herodotus’ claim. This was particularly the case after a study in 2007. After analyzing modern DNA from Tuscany and from the Near East, researchers found what appeared to be an unusually close connection between the two.   However, this study (Achilli et al.) has been severely criticized. For one thing, it does not reveal when this supposedly close connection began. It could be a result of migrations during the Roman Imperial period, for example. It also only applied to one small area of Tuscany. Furthermore, additional research has revealed that the supposedly strong similarities with Near Eastern haplogroups are actually widespread all over Italy and other parts of Europe. Therefore, there is no good reason, on the basis of this study alone, to connect the Etruscans to Anatolia.   More Recent Studies Map of the Etruscan civilization, showing its extent at different periods. Source: Wikimedia Commons   In contrast, modern genetic studies have gone in the opposite direction. They have presented evidence that the Etruscans were actually the native inhabitants of Italy. For example, a study published in 2013 that used ancient DNA in their dataset estimated that the connection between the Etruscans and Anatolia goes back some 5,000 years. This is much further back than the supposed migration recorded by Herodotus. This study also concluded that ancient Etruscan DNA is more similar to modern European populations than it is to modern Anatolian populations.   Another study, from 2021, strongly supported this conclusion. This study examined 48 Iron Age individuals, from 800 BCE onwards. These researchers were able to clearly see how the genetic makeup of the Etruscans had changed over time. From this evidence, they found that the Etruscans displayed no particular similarities to the ancient Anatolians. Rather, they were most similar to ancient European populations. This appeared to strongly refute the legendary Anatolian origin.   The Complication of Chronology The Procession of the Trojan Horse into Troy, by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, c. 1760. Source: National Gallery, London   However, using genetic studies to assess the historicity of the supposed Anatolian origin of the Etruscans is complicated by one crucial factor: chronology. Traditionally, the migration in question is supposed to have occurred during the Bronze Age. This is based on the account of Herodotus and subsequent writers, who placed the migration of the Etruscans broadly at the time of the Trojan War. Since the Trojan War has traditionally been dated to c. 1200 BCE, this is the date that has almost always been used in discussions of the Etruscans.   In the Bronze Age, Anatolia was composed of nations such as the Hittites, the Luwians, and a variety of more minor nations. Therefore, if the Etruscans had migrated from Anatolia to Italy during the Bronze Age, they would logically display similarities to those nations. The genetic evidence is clear, however, that they do not. In view of this evidence, genetic research does appear to rule out a migration in the Bronze Age. Aeneas and his Family Fleeing Burning Troy, by Henry Gibbs, 1654. Source: The Tate Gallery, London   However, not all scholars agree with the traditional date of the Trojan War. The idea that it occurred in c. 1200 BCE comes directly from ancient Greek estimates of when it occurred. Greek archaeologist and historian Nikos Kokkinos argued that a re-examination of the actual data used by ancient Greek historians points to a more recent date. The evidence shows that the ancient historians had a tendency to use exaggerated generational lengths—up to 45 years in some cases—to extend their own antiquity as far back as possible. A more realistic average generational length would, of course, be closer to 25 years.   Of course, we cannot state definitively when the Trojan War really occurred, if at all. Furthermore, the exact chronological relationship between the Trojan War and the migration of the Etruscans is open to debate, since the ancient sources are not entirely consistent concerning this. Nevertheless, we are faced with the distinct possibility that Herodotus was actually attempting to describe far more recent events.   How This Relates to Archaeology Etruscan tombs from a variety of periods, Cerveteri, Italy. Source: Wikimedia Commons   This conclusion makes a lot of sense when we consider the archaeological evidence. In about 700 BCE, the Etruscans entered what is called the “Orientalizing Period.” At this time, they experienced an “Oriental inundation,” as the Encyclopedia Britannica puts it. As historian Jodi Magness explained, from this era onward:   “Near Eastern influence is evident on almost all aspects of Etruscan life, including art, clothing, chariots, military equipment and warfare, hairstyles, dining habits, religion or cult, and technology.”   In addition to this profound and sudden Oriental influence on Etruscan society in general, we also see this in tomb designs. In c. 700 BCE, the Etruscans began building monumental tombs which bear striking similarities to those found in contemporary Anatolia. They are particularly similar to Phrygian and Lydian tombs.   In view of this evidence, a number of scholars have concluded that there was a migration of a Near Eastern elite class at this time. This is clearly better supported than a Bronze Age migration, for which there is no evidence at all.   The Consequences of the Genetic Studies Painting of two dancers from the Tomb of the Triclinium, fifth century BCE. Source: Owlcation   How does this evidence for a migration from Anatolia in c. 700 BCE tie in with the results from genetic research? To examine this properly, we would do well to consider some of the specific details from the 2021 study. Note the following quotation from the results of the study:   “C.Italy_Etruscan can be modeled successfully as having derived its entire ancestry from other European populations such as the earlier Bell Beaker group from northern Italy and Iron Age populations from southern Europe (Iberia, Croatia, and Greece).”   As we see here, the Iron Age Etruscans display clear similarities to the European Bell Beaker people of the Bronze Age. However, they can also be successfully modeled as having descended in large part from Iron Age populations of southern Europe. The researchers point to Iberia, Croatia, and Greece in particular. This is very significant in view of the evidence that the Anatolian migration, if it occurred at all, would have occurred in c. 700 BCE rather than in the Bronze Age.   Iron Age Southern European Populations in Anatolia Ruins of Gordion, the capital of Phrygia overthrown by the Cimmerians, c. 700 BCE. Source: Daily Sabah   Significantly, we know that there were several Iron Age southern European populations who had recently migrated to western Anatolia by 700 BCE. For instance, the Greeks had been gradually settling the western coast of that region throughout the Iron Age. The Troad, for example, was settled by Greeks from about 900 BCE onward. Furthermore, the Phrygians were originally from the Balkans. They, too, migrated to Anatolia after the start of the Iron Age.   Also notable are the Pelasgians. We do not know when some or all of them migrated to Anatolia, but we do know that they were commonly presented as being the original, pre-Greek inhabitants of Greece. Yet, some records also place them in western Anatolia. Notably, there is specifically a tradition that Pelasgians traveled with the Etruscans from the western coast of Anatolia and settled with them in Italy. This is recorded by Strabo, referring to the writings of Anticleides, a 3rd-century BCE historian. In fact, the 5th-century BCE historian Hellanicus of Lesbos also recorded that the Pelasgians had founded Etruria.   What This Means for the Genetic Studies of the Etruscans Etruscan town at Lazio, Italy, photo by Etnoy. Source: Wikimedia Commons   This evidence has a significant impact on how we should interpret these genetic studies. If we compare the results with the idea of a Bronze Age migration from Anatolia to Italy, then we do indeed see that the evidence refutes the legend. On the other hand, there is good evidence to suggest that Herodotus’ account had its origin in much more recent events. Archaeology lends support to the idea of a migration from Anatolia around 700 BCE, at the start of the Orientalizing Period. At this time, western Anatolia was extensively populated by recent arrivals from southern European nations, particularly those of the Balkans.   The Greeks and the Phrygians are particularly notable. The Pelasgians, also from that same area, are specifically reported to have been part of the migration that led to the founding of Etruria. The Greeks, Phrygians, and Pelasgians are all consistent with the “Iron Age populations from southern Europe” mentioned in the 2021 genetic study on the Etruscans. Far from contradicting the legend of the Etruscan migration from Anatolia, the genetic results are consistent with it when we account for this chronological issue.

10 Presidential Elections That Shaped the US Forever

10 Presidential Elections That Shaped the US Forever

  Since 1796, the United States has had competitive presidential elections. While some have resulted in relatively little change in America, others have caused significant shifts in culture, economics, and infrastructure. These are often considered to begin new “eras” in American history. From Abraham Lincoln to Franklin D. Roosevelt to Ronald Reagan, some presidential elections have transformed American political culture. These presidents have caused, either through their own efforts or those of associates, significant changes in how America sees itself and gets stuff done. Here is a look at the ten most noteworthy presidential elections in the United States.   1. 1800: Thomas Jefferson & The Peaceful Revolution Thomas Jefferson by George Peter Alexander Healy after Gilbert Stuart, 1848/1879. Source: National Gallery of Art, Washington DC   Everyone knows that George Washington was America’s first president, with John Adams chosen as his vice president. The new United States Constitution, ratified in 1789, was supposed to guide the fledgling republic through any problems that might arise. But, for better or worse, the Constitution made no mention of political factions or parties. Although Washington had cautioned Americans against forming political parties in his 1796 Farewell Address, the process of forming these parties had already begun. That November, John Adams won America’s first partisan presidential election, fending off Thomas Jefferson.   But what would happen when a challenger won? The presidency going from Washington to Adams meant no change in partisan leadership… but if Adams lost in 1800, the nation would hold its breath. Would Adams willingly relinquish power to someone of a different party? Such a scenario occurred, and Adams voluntarily relinquished power. In the Peaceful Revolution of 1800, Thomas Jefferson became president and guided a transition of power from the Federalists to the Anti-Federalists. The republic remained strong, thus beginning the tradition of such peaceful transfers of power.   2. 1828: Jacksonian Democracy Begins US President Andrew Jackson, elected in 1828 after being denied the presidency in 1824 by the US House of Representatives, opened an era of populism. Source: Voice of America (VOA)   Political power in the early American republic remained largely with elites, who owned property and paid taxes. White men without significant property or tax payments were often denied the right to vote by states, which retained the power of voting qualifications under the Constitution. As states began loosening the requirements to vote in the early 1800s, more political power went to non-elites. Populism emerged as a political philosophy as politicians in the 1820s courted the common man, often criticizing the elites as intentionally trying to limit the power of the average voter.   Andrew Jackson, a hero from the War of 1812, became America’s first populist hero after his loss in the election of 1824. When the US House of Representatives awarded the presidency to John Quincy Adams despite Jackson winning both the popular vote and the most electoral votes, Jackson became a populist martyr. Four years later, he ran again and won the presidency. Thus began the era of Jacksonian Democracy, where Jackson used his mass appeal with common voters to increase his executive power as part of a popular mandate.   3. 1860: Abraham Lincoln Signals End Days of Slavery Sixteenth US President Abraham Lincoln, shown here without his characteristic beard, guided the nation through the Civil War and ended slavery. Source: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York   In the 1840s and 1850s, the issue of slavery consumed national politics in America. As the republic expanded westward, supporters and opponents of slavery lobbied hard for each new territory to be named either slave or free, respectively. A new political party emerged that was opposed to slavery—the Republican Party—and its first presidential nominee was Illinois politician Abraham Lincoln. Outraged at Lincoln’s opposition to slavery, slave states in the South refused to put him on the ballot in 1860. Despite not being on the ballot in the South, Lincoln won the presidential election.   In response, eleven Southern states seceded from the republic and created the Confederate States of America. The American Civil War raged as Lincoln vowed to hold the nation together. During the war, after the Battle of Antietam, Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation that began the abolishment of slavery. Although Lincoln was assassinated shortly before the end of the war, his leadership is credited with both maintaining the union and ending slavery. Today, the end of the Civil War is considered a turning point in American history and the beginning of the modern era.   4. 1880: Garfield Leads to Civil Service Reform Twentieth US President James Garfield was assassinated in 1881, leading to the passage of federal civil service reform. Source: National Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC   Relatively few Americans could name James Garfield as a president. Certainly, his name is not as well known as Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, or Abraham Lincoln. Garfield became president in 1880 after not even seeking the Republican nomination; he was chosen at the National Convention after showing up to nominate a friend!   A scholarly man, Garfield was seen as a compromise candidate whose past as a young Union general during the Civil War was an asset. He won a very narrow victory over the Democratic nominee that November and became the twentieth president.   Tragically, Garfield was assassinated by an irate job-seeker less than one year into his term, which he began by fighting demands to name political allies of a powerful US senator to federal posts. This tragedy led to Congress finally taking up civil service reform. The Pendleton Civil Service Act of 1883 reduced the amount of nepotism and corruption in the federal government by requiring competitive hiring and promotion for certain jobs. Over time, this has spread to most government jobs at the federal, state, and local levels, with applicants to various government jobs having to meet objective requirements for education, training, and skill.   5. 1932: Franklin D. Roosevelt & A New Deal A 1932 campaign poster for Democratic presidential candidate Franklin D. Roosevelt, who famously promised a “new deal” for the American people. Source: Roosevelt House   The stock market crash of 1929 led to the infamous Great Depression. US President Herbert Hoover, a pro-business Republican, tried to aid corporations with government funds but did little to provide direct aid to the unemployed and homeless. By 1932, the situation was dire.   Democratic presidential nominee Franklin D. Roosevelt, governor of New York, promised a “new deal” for the American people and promised direct aid to the struggling. He won the 1932 presidential election in a landslide. Immediately upon taking office the following March, he began enacting his New Deal.   In a new development for American political culture, Roosevelt approved of Keynesian economic principles to stimulate spending. This deficit spending allowed for the development of infrastructure across the United States, which employed thousands of previously jobless citizens. The New Deal was extremely popular, and FDR won re-election in 1936 by another landslide. FDR’s swift actions in implementing his New Deal reforms are often credited with restoring the health and vitality of the United States, and many of those reforms (Social Security, FDIC, the SEC) remain law today to protect economic security.   6. 1940: FDR Secretly Plans to Confront Authoritarianism A 1940 campaign poster for Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was running for an unprecedented third term as president and argued that he was keeping America out of war. Source: Roosevelt House   FDR was tremendously popular going into 1940. World War II had erupted in Europe the previous September, and Japan had been waging war against China since the late 1930s. Many Americans, still able to vividly recall the horrors of World War I, did not want to get involved in another overseas conflict. Breaking with the historic tradition of presidents serving only two terms, set by George Washington himself, FDR announced that he would be seeking a third term. Allegedly, FDR felt that he needed to win a third term to prepare America—largely in secret—to confront Germany and Japan in the growing wars.   At the time, many Republicans were isolationists who wanted to avoid international political entanglements. FDR, however, went in the opposite direction and began setting the stage for war preparation, including the institution of America’s first peacetime draft in 1940. Months later, the Lend-Lease Act of 1941 allowed the United States to give weapons and equipment to Allied nations. Therefore, when Japan did strike America at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the United States was not unprepared. FDR guided America through the war and set the stage for its robust international leadership in the post-war era. 7. 1960: Kennedy & Civil Rights A photograph of John F. Kennedy, who became president in 1960 after a very close election and began pushing a pro-civil rights agenda. Source: The American Presidency Project   In 1960, America was enjoying peace and prosperity after the Khrushchev Thaw in relations with the Soviet Union and the economic boom of the 1950s. Unfortunately, not all Americans shared equally in this prosperity. There was still rampant sexism, racism, and segregation, especially in the South. Although the Civil Rights Movement had begun in 1948 with President Harry S. Truman’s executive orders integrating the military and the federal government, progress in American society itself had been slow. What was needed were federal laws that applied to all states, including those in the South.   Young President John F. Kennedy pledged to make this legislation happen. During 1963, Kennedy worked to push civil rights legislation through Congress. Tragically, Kennedy was assassinated in November 1963, prior to these bills being passed. In honor of Kennedy, supportive legislators worked hard to push through the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which was also championed by Kennedy’s former vice president, Lyndon B. Johnson. Thus, although Johnson is often associated with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, much credit goes to JFK for starting the groundbreaking law.   8. 1980: The Reagan Revolution & Conservative Resurgence A photograph of former California governor Ronald Reagan during the 1980 presidential election, where he was the Republican nominee. Source: National Public Radio (NPR)   In 1980, America was in an economic and cultural funk following the Vietnam War, the OPEC oil embargo and resulting stagflation, and the Nixon Watergate scandal. Many voters felt that America had lost its vigor. In the past year, two foreign policy crises had made incumbent Democratic president Jimmy Carter appear weak: the Iran Hostage Crisis and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. The 1980 presidential election saw a media-savvy challenger, Republican nominee Ronald Reagan, motivate and inspire voters by promising to renew America’s strength.   The Reagan Revolution saw the former California governor unite various conservative groups into a powerful coalition known as the New Right. Along with traditional pro-business Republicans, the New Right included Christian evangelicals, proponents of states’ rights, and pro-military defense hawks. Reagan won the 1980 election and successfully reinvigorated the US economy by simultaneously cutting taxes and boosting defense spending. Using his skills as a former Hollywood actor, Reagan also inspired millions of Americans with positive messaging.   9. 2008: Barack Obama & America’s First POC President US Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) became America’s first nonwhite president after winning the 2008 presidential election. Source: Rice University   The success of the Reagan era in improving the US economy heralded a lengthy period of moderacy in American politics. In 2008, however, a deep economic recession erupted following the housing market crash of 2007. Amid this fiscal turmoil, partisan divides began growing again. Many liberals wanted America to move forward in terms of liberal and progressive values, blaming conservative deregulation and low taxation for triggering the recession and increasing income inequality. The 2008 Democratic presidential primaries saw two historic firsts: a top-tier female candidate named Hillary Clinton and a top-tier Black candidate named Barack Obama.   Obama won the primaries after a lengthy competition and went on to win the 2008 presidential election, becoming the first POC president in American history. In his first year in office, Obama pushed hard for health care reform under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), colloquially known as Obamacare. This became law and revolutionized health insurance in the United States. It also set the stage for further political proposals over single-payer healthcare, such as the Medicare For All (M4A) proposal by US Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT).   10. 2016: Populism Returns With Trumpism A photograph of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump (left) with his son and wife after winning the 2016 presidential election. Source: WBUR/National Public Radio   In 2016, a shocking upset saw a billionaire real estate mogul and former reality TV star defeat a poised political insider for the presidency. Although the US economy had recovered from the Great Recession during President Barack Obama’s two terms, many Americans were still frustrated with growing income inequality and struggling real wages (income compared to inflation).   Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump promised voters that he could improve the economy using his business acumen and negotiating skills with foreign trade partners. Pundits almost universally predicted that Trump would lose handily to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, but Trump won a surprise victory in the Electoral College instead.   As president, Trump cut taxes and enjoyed promised economic growth. Controversially, however, the tax cuts for middle-income earners were temporary and saw a massive increase in the national debt. This was very similar to the situation under the Reagan tax cuts of the early 1980s. In 2020, the Covid pandemic caused a brief but intense economic recession, helping Democratic challenger Joe Biden—vice president under Barack Obama—win the presidential election that November. Breaking with tradition set in 1800, Trump refused to acknowledge the results of the election and declared it fraudulent, allegedly provoking the January 6, 2021 protests that led to the storming of the US Capitol building.

How Many U.S. Presidents Served Two Terms in Office?

  For almost two and a half centuries, the United States has been governed by a presidential system. Throughout that time, there have been 45 presidents, many of whom have been so popular that they served more than one term.   The Presidential System Numbers of Electoral College electors from each state for the presidential election in 2024. Source: Wikimedia Commons   The system for voting in the US head of state hasn’t always been the same. The president has always, however, not been elected by popular vote, but rather by a designated number of electors or “delegates” from each state. Early on in US history, the system of the popular vote determining the vote of the electors was adopted. As the United States has changed geographically, and politically, the number of electors from each state has changed. The first election had 69 electors, while today the number stands at a total of 538.    Detail of a portrait of George Washington by Rembrandt Peale, 1795. Source: Wikimedia Commons The first person to be elected president was, of course, George Washington, in 1789. He served until 1792 when he was re-elected. He was the first of 21 presidents who served a second term. Many of them, however, would not end up finishing their second term in office!   Two Full Terms Franklin D. Roosevelt, photographed by Leon Perskie in 1944. Source: Wikimedia Commons   A total of 14 presidents have served two full terms. Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Ulysses S. Grant, Grover Cleveland, Woodrow Wilson, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama have all served two terms and each spent a total of 2,922 days in office. George Washington also served two terms. After he was elected, however, there were issues which delayed the official start of his term in office, and so he only served 2,865 days in office—slightly fewer than other presidents who served two full terms.   Only one president has served more than two full terms in office. Franklin D. Roosevelt proved so popular that he was elected for a third and even a fourth term in office. Grover Cleveland’s two terms were not consecutive; thus, he is considered the 22nd and 24th president.    More Than One Term Colorized photograph of Abraham Lincoln. Source: Wikimedia Commons   Not all the presidents elected for a second term completed their term in office. Many of them had their presidency terminated due to unforeseen disasters and unfortunate events. Some of those who served out the remainder of these terms, went on to be elected afterwards.   Portrait of Harry Truman by Martha G. Kempton, 1947, via the White House Historical Association   Harry S. Truman took over as president after Roosevelt died in office, and was later elected. Likewise, Theodore Roosevelt was vice president when President William McKinley was assassinated. Roosevelt took the reins of the presidency and was subsequently elected to another term. Lyndon Johnson’s presidency was similar. He took over when John F. Kennedy was shot in 1963, and then was elected in 1964 after a landslide victory. Calvin Coolidge also became president after the sudden death of President Warren G. Harding in 1923. Coolidge was then elected to the position of president the following year.    Richard Nixon’s official White House portrait.

Roosevelt’s fourth presidential election victory. Nevertheless, it’s almost certain that the future will bring more presidents that will prove so popular that they serve two terms.
