Woodrow Wilson is reelected as President of the United States.

Thomas Woodrow Wilson was the 28th president of the United States, serving from 1913 to 1921. He was the only Democrat to serve as president during the Progressive Era when Republicans dominated the presidency and legislative branches. As president, Wilson changed the nation's economic policies and led the United States into World War I. He was the leading architect of the League of Nations, and his stance on foreign policy came to be known as Wilsonianism.

Presidential elections were held in the United States on November 7, 1916. The Democratic ticket of incumbent President Woodrow Wilson and incumbent Vice President Thomas Marshall defeated the Republican ticket of former associate justice of the Supreme Court Charles Evans Hughes and former Vice President Charles Fairbanks by a narrow margin. Wilson was the first incumbent Democrat since 1832 to win re-election to a second consecutive term.

The president of the United States (POTUS) is the head of state and head of government of the United States. The president directs the executive branch of the federal government and is the commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces.
