Imperial presidency

Under Imperial presidency the loss by Trump the next time he stood for political office contradicts the last sentence of the section. Information there is out-of-date and should be updated. 24.240.218.117 (talk) 13:36, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Removed: The statement is specious; its validity/accuracy is debatable. Drdpw (talk) 14:15, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

22nd ammendment point doesn't parse

3rd sentence of 3rd para in section 'Incumbancy - Term limit', regarding Truman and the 22nd ammendment, doesn't parse. Could benifit from spliting up into simpler sentences. 213.106.89.162 (talk) 23:10, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done – I have rephrased the long run on sentence. Drdpw (talk) 23:47, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Former President Gallery - What Happened?

Can anyone remember why the small gallery of former US Presidents was removed? I thought it was a great thing to see all the former ones in pictures... I remember it, but cannot find it... Moron24 (talk) 03:36, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus that lists of officeholders articles not contain separate "lists of…" was established in January 2023, see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Politics/Archive 45#Request for comment on the contents of lists of officeholders. Cheers. Drdpw (talk) 04:00, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
