That's 2 (Gerald Ford)

Also standard. A month at half-staff for a dead president. Even Nixon got that.

Ford had the fifth shortest term of any president and unlike the four ahead of him (Harrison, Taylor, Garfield, Harding) he inherited an administration in a time of political scandal and social malaise. In 100 years I'm sure that the name Gerald Ford will trip off the average students tongue as easily as does Benjamin Harrison and James Garfield.
