The ‘S’ in Harry S. Truman doesn’t stand for anything.

His parents put it in as a single letter to appease some of his grandparents

Grover Cleveland was the only US president to server non-consecutive terms.

That will change this time if trump wins again.

Wasn't he something like both the 19th and 21st Presidents? Normally if you do back to back terms they count it as one, but cause of the gap they consider him two. So the current 46th (I think?) President isn't actually the 46th person to do it.

Yeah, he was 22 and 24. With 45 people having being president.

I only know because there’s a local connection. One of his kids (Esther maybe?) married a local lad. My stepmother grew up with her daughter (Cleveland’s granddaughter). The husband died and was buried in the local cemetery and Esther went back to the states.
