, who died during George W. Bush's presidency. Conversely, only twice, during the Presidencies of Grant and Nixon, has there been as many as three during a Presidency. (Again, this does not count the presidency of Lincoln, whose death was the third during his term.) The longest streak of Presidencies without a Presidential death is four, as no United States President died during the terms of Ford, Carter, Reagan and George H.W. Bush.
Because of his serving 3+ terms, Franklin Delano Roosevelt holds the distinction of serving over the longest period during which no Presidential deaths or changes occurred. The only other United States President alive during his term was Herbert Hoover, whose Presidency had ended with a period of time when he was the only living United States President and who outlived Roosevelt by nearly twenty years.

Only three times, in 1826, 1862 and 1901, have two United States Presidents died in the same year. The first, mentioned above, was the only time that two have died on the same day. The second, between the deaths of Tyler and Van Buren, happened 187 days apart, and the third, between Benjamin Harrison's death and McKinley's assassination, happened 185 days apart.
Harry S. Truman died December 26, 1972, just 25 days before Nixon's second term began. Lyndon Johnson died on January 22, 1973, just two days after Nixon's second term began. They died only 27 days apart, yet in two different years and two different Presidential terms.

and his successor each serve only one term. If either of them serves more than one term, it will take even longer. If no president dies before 2025, the record will be beaten if the term limit of 2 terms remains assuming that no president ascends from Vice President to President through the resignation or impeachment of a president and will be beaten if no president dies before 2029 if the term limit of a decade having ascended from Vice President to President through the resignation or impeachment of a president (Which would make Carter & Bush Sr. 104, Clinton & Bush Jr. 82 and Obama 61).
- However, assuming that Obama and his predecessor serve only one term - combined with no deaths inbetween times - the record for living Vice Presidents will be beaten.
