 German presidential election, 1932 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although Hitler lost the presidential election of 1932, he succeeded Hindenburg as head of state only two years later, when Hindenburg's death brought his term to a premature end in 1934.
The 1932 election was the second of only two presidential elections of the Weimar period.
When the modern office of German Federal President was established in 1949, following the restoration of democracy in West Germany, it was decided that the president would be chosen indirectly by means of a Federal Convention consisting of parliamentarians and state delegates.

 President of Germany
The two direct elections were the election of Paul von Hindenburg in 1925, and his re-election in 1932.
In the election that followed Hindenburg was eventually settled on as the candidate of the political right, while the 'Weimar coalition' united behind Wilhelm Marx of Zentrum (the 'Catholic Centre Party').
As with many other provisions of the Basic Law, the mechanism for presidential succession was introduced in response to a perceived weakness in the Weimar constitution, under which the chancellor would act as head of state in the president's absence.

Given my personal observations, I claim that there is a basis to conclude that a deliberate falsification of the presidential elections results was committed by the members of the territorial electoral commission and the local voting stations in the electoral constituency No. 48.
Like voting in Florida in 2000 and voting in Ohio in 2004 during the US elections, voting in the Donetsk region during the second round of the presidential elections in Ukraine proved crucial.
But the elections in Donetsk truly shocked me. Not because there were some sophisticated fraudulent schemes employed, but quite to the contrary, because of how brazenly the law was skirted and how openly the falsifications were done.

On January 30th of that year, after he had received 38% of the popular vote in the three-way 1932 German presidential election, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany by newly-reelected President Paul von Hindenburg.
Hitler's first priority was to unite all the ethnic Germans in Europe under one government and one leader, himself.
The capital of this new Greater Germany was to be in Berlin, where Hitler and his state architect, Albert Speer, were designing magnificent new state buildings in the classic style of Greek and Roman architecture.

The exceptional bitterness of that election ingrained the red state vs. blue state divide in public consciousness, and since then red has been closely associated with Republicans and blue with Democrats.
Neither major party was historically associated with any particular color; network television electoral maps alternated colors to avoid the appearance of bias.

 The Ultimate Franklin Delano Roosevelt - American History Information Guide and Reference
Roosevelt's four presidential election victories led to the 22nd Amendment to the United States Constitution, which bars anyone from being elected to the office of President more than twice (or once, if that person served more than two years of another president's term).
Unlike the 1936 election where he won the Democratic nomination uncontested, in 1940 he was opposed by several candidates, the most noteworthy of which was his own Vice President, John Nance Garner.
Easily winning re-election in 1936, Roosevelt became the first U.S. President to be inaugurated after the adoption of the Twentieth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
