Best known for being the only US President to have two non-consecutive terms, the first from 1885 to 1889, the second from 1893 to 1897. He actually won the popular vote for president in 1888
He also served as governor of New York from 1883 to 1885. While governor, he gained the ire of many factions of his own, Democratic party, especially Tammany Hall in New York City. This disdain however gained him the support of reform minded Republicans, such as Theodore Roosevelt.
