Eisenhower was a key military officer as was Taylor. The article notes that it has happened several times in history with Washington and Grant being the other two notables.
I'm just pointing out that traditionally, being mayor has been insufficient to be elected president. Perhaps that's changing, but I'd be shocked if being mayor of South Bend was enough for the majority of the country.
As I said earlier. Buttigieg will likely play this run into a run at the governor's mansion, and after he serves there, he's likely a top candidate to be president, but not yet.
