How many presidents had no military service at the time of their election?
Answer this question… Have served in the American military Have served in the American military
There is no requirement that the President have military experience. However, the President is the Commander in Chief of the US Military. As such, it is certainly a big plus in the minds of many people, including the military.
No president has served a term that was split. Grover Cleveland, served two separate terms, which were split by four years served by another president, Benjamin Harrison..

Zero. Many Presidents served in the military, but none were in ROTC.
US Presidents do not have to have served in the military in order to be elected.
The following 13 presidents never served in the military: Obama - Clinton - Franklin Roosevelt - Hoover - Coolidge - Harding - Wilson - Taft - Cleveland - Fillmore - van Buren - Adams - Adams.
Actually many future Presidents were commanded by Presidents. Example: JF Kennedy served in the Navy under Roosevelt and Trueman (Who served in the Army under Wilson). LB Johnson served in the Navy under FDR, George HW Bush served in the Navy under FDR & Trueman. Many of the Presidents served in the military and took orders from the Presidents in office.
There were 25 US presidents who never served in the Senate.

The US has had a lot of small conflicts that involved military action, but all presidents except for Madison, Polk, Lincoln, McKinley, Wilson, F. Roosevelt, Truman, Lyndon Johnson. G. H. W. Bush , George W. Bush and Obama either served only in peace time or had only brief periods when they called on the military for foreign or domestic disputes. I did not count Indian Wars which broke out from time to time but usually did not last long. So, you could say the 31 presidents served only in peace time.
