Answer to why Truman left office.Truman was FDR's last Vice-President. FDR was innaugurated in March 1945. He died the following month, on April 12th. Truman served almost two complete terms. Until his predecessor, FDR, no president served more than two terms. This practice was established by our first President, George Washington. (This limitation is now part of our constitution.)Additionally, Truman had committed the US in the Korean War. This conflict became very unpopular and Truman was vilified as a result. He barely won the 1948 election. His approval ratings were about as low as President Bush's is today.
President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Declaration of War against Japan, in December 1941 shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. He remained president for the duration of war until his death in office in April of 1945, less than a month before the surrender of Germany. President Harry Truman succeeded him and saw the end of the war under his administration.Franklin Roosevelt became President in 1933. Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in that year. Hitler marched all over his neighbors for some years but the War in Europe properly broke out in 1939. The U.S. entered the War after Japan attacked the U.S. at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii in December of 1941. Roosevelt remained President until his death in April of 1945, at which time his Vice President, Harry S Truman (no dot after the S!) became the President. Truman oversaw the end of the War in August of 1945.So there were two, Roosevelt and Truman.

World War 2 had two presidents serve during it. Franklin Delano Roosevelt served as the President during WW2 until his death in 1945. Harry S. Truman took over and eventually made the decision to drop the nuclear bombs.
After it was discovered that former president Harry Truman was living off his Army pension and little more, Congress passed the Former Presidents Act of 1958. The act was implemented to prevent former presidents from having to sell their names and the presidency to live comfortably. Truman believed that he "could never lend himself to any transaction, however respectable, that would commercialize on the prestige and dignity of the office of the presidency." When in office, President Truman made $100,000 a year. When he retired he lived off his pension from the Army. Reserve Colonel Harry Truman, Field Artillery, got retirement pay of $112.56 a month.

Harry S. Truman was the President for nearly 8 years, from 1945 April 12 to 1953 January 20. William Henry Harrison was only in office as the President of the United States in 1841 from March 4 to April 4, effectively one month, before he died of pneumonia. Benjamin Harrison was President for 1 term, 4 years from 1889 March 4 to 1893 March 4.
There was no U.S. Vice President in 1947. Harry S. Truman was Franklin D. Roosevelt's Vice President, and Truman took the office of the President when FDR died in 1945. That left the office of Vice President vacant until the election of 1948.This can't be true. There is a protocol for appointing a vice president in every administration. Not sure of the method then. Roosevelt was only about a month or two into his 4th term, that means no VPfor 4 yrs? I don't think so!
