Overlooked: The One-Termin'08er

From today's Hotline:

Barack Obama would be the 4th president to have served in Congress without completing at least one full term. James Monroe spent a few years in the Senate, while Andrew Jackson served only partial terms in both the House and Senate. Warren G. Harding resigned about 2 months prior to end of his only Senate term to assume the presidency. Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin Harrison served exactly one term in the House and Senate, respectively.
