Who is President Grover Cleveland?

Answer 1

I am not a believer in simply going to Wikipedia and cutting and pasting an answer, so I will actually put some effort into my response for you.

1. He was a Democrat elected in an era of Republican presidents but, speaking as an historian, he was a Democrat in name only. Virtually ALL of his decisions and opinions were more typical of Republican presidents of the time period. So I refer to Cleveland as a Republican in Democratic clothing.
2. Cleveland supported management over labor (as in his support of management in the Pullman Railroad workers strike--this was very Republican in nature.)
3. Cleveland borrowed (on behalf of the country) gold from J.P. Morgan to buoy up the nation's dwindling gold reserves after gold speculators began buying up all the nation's gold reserves.
4. Cleveland was the only President elected to two non-consecutive terms as president (Benjamin Harrison served one term between Cleveland's two terms.)

Answer 2

Grover Cleveland was the 22nd and 24th President of the US. He came from New York state and was mayor of Buffalo NY. He is the only President to be elected to non consecutive terms for he lost to Benjamin Harrison in 1888. He was the first president to be married in the Oval Office to 22 year old Frances Folsom. He defeated James G. Blaine in 1884 in a very close election where NY state decided it. Blaine's speech of Rum Romanism and Rebellion was enough to anger in NYC the Irish immigrants who could vote and a bad rain storm in upper state NY gave Cleveland the state and the election. Despite winning the popular vote in 1888, Cleveland would lose the election to Benjamin Harrison because of him taking more states with higher electoral votes and Harrison's view on protectonism to protect against high tariffs on American goods overseas. In 1892, Cleveland would win the rematch easily as the Populist party took votes away from the Republican bloc, namely the farmers. The depression of 1893 took up the majority of his 2nd presidency and he was not renominated.

Answer 3

Stephen Grover Cleveland (March 18, 1837 – June 24, 1908) was the 22nd (1885–1889) and 24th (1893–1897) President of the United States, and the only President to serve two non-consecutive terms. He was the only Democrat elected to the Presidency in the era of Republican political domination between 1860 and 1912, after the American Civil War. His admirers praise him for his bedrock honesty, independence, integrity, and commitment to the principles of classical liberalism. As a leader of the Bourbon Democrats, he opposed imperialism, taxes, corruption, patronage, subsidies and inflationary policies.

Some of Cleveland's actions were controversial with political factions: his intervention in the Pullman Strike of 1894 in order to keep the railroads moving angered labor unions, and his support of the gold standard and opposition to free silver alienated the agrarian wing of the party. Furthermore, critics complained that he had little imagination and seemed overwhelmed by the nation's economic disasters — depressions and strikes — in his second term. He lost control of his party to the agrarians and silverites in 1896.

Answer 4

In addition to what has been said, I believe he also is the only president to get married while in office.
