Grover Cleveland was a politician and lawyer who served as the 22nd and 24th president of the United States, the only president in American history to serve two nonconsecutive terms in office from 1885 to 1889 and from 1893 to 1897. He won the popular vote for three presidential elections—in 1884, 1888, and 1892—and was one of two Democrats (followed by Woodrow Wilson in 1912) to be elected president during the era of Republican presidential domination dating from 1861 to 1933.
