H. Bush (41st president), the party affiliation controlling the White House is shown below, where R designates Republican and D designates Democrat. (Reference: The New York Times Almanac.)Historical Note: We start this sequence with the 14th president because earlier presidents belonged to political parties such as the Federalist or Wigg party (not Democratic or Republican). In cases in which a president died in office or resigned, the period during which the vice president finished the term is not counted as a new term.
