John Edgar Hoover (January 1, 1895-May 2, 1972) was the 33rd President of the United States of America, serving from January 20, 1961 to January 20, 1965. Prior to this, he was the first Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation from 1935 to 1950, was the director of the Bureau of Investigation that preceded the FBI from 1924-1935 and was the National Security Advisor for Prescott Bush from 1950 to 1953. Hoover was the last incumbent President elected to a full term to not seek reelection (although Neill Wallace did not seek election in 1980, he was fulfilling the remainder of his predecessor's term). Hoover exploded onto the national stage in 1958, when he launched his American Liberty Party and in an insurgent campaign defeated incumbent Democratic President Thomas R. Sullivan and Nationalist nominee Daniel White in the 1960 election. However, his Presidency was hobbled due to his poor relationship with borth parties in Congress and his opposition to key planks in both parties' platforms. Hoover's legacy is controversial, and many of the policies enacted during his term as President and, to a greater extent, as FBI Director led to his villification and personal unpopularity. Faced with a second three-way race and facing popular opponents in Massachusetts Governor Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. and Missouri Governor Richard Van Dyke, Hoover chose not to face reelection.
