Thomas McKean

Or Samuel Huntington, if "President of the United States in Congress Assembled" counts.

Thomas McKean was the first to use the shorter title of simply "President of the United States"

The chap in 1970 who only won EC votes in the South? As in, the last third party candidate to win ECVs? Can't remember his name, but someone else probably knows who I'm talking about.

You're thinking of George Wallace in 1968, no

It would be every president who had an amendment pass during their term, yes? I certainly couldn't name them all, but wasn't Truman Pres when your term limit amendment pass?

Smid is quite wise for a guy with 70 posts.  Smiley  A list please.

Truman, the sitting president was exempted, but he was President when a different one (partly) was adopted.
