The presidents in Group A served only one elected full term, with no partial term served as a result of the death of the previous president. Therefore, James Buchanan can be added to Group A. Madison and Monroe served two full terms, Tyler finished the term of William Harrison, and Garfield and Kennedy were assassinated during their first term.Hide Answer Show Answer
