Does the Presidential term occurring after a death in office have a name (USA specifically)?

Question

I'm working on a project involving US Presidents and their term dates etc. If a President dies in office, how is the new President's term until the next election year referred to? Is it simply 'The first term'? For example, LBJ's presidency between the death of JFK in 1963 and his inauguration in Jan 1965. Was the latter date the commencement of his first term or his second term?

Answer 1

There's no special name for it, but it's common to put qualifiers to be more clear. In your example, for instance, 1965 marked the start of LBJ's first FULL term. Similarly, you might say that before that, he finished JFK's term before being re-elected.

But that's usually only to clarify--sometimes no qualifiers are used. It's perfectly common and acceptable to hear something like, "The Voting Rights Act was passed during LBJ's first term in office."
