Who is the only President believed to have been truly tone deaf?

I think that's Taft. I have read that his wife had to hum the Star Spangled Banner for him to even remotely sing along.

Soulty,

Is it Ulysses S. Grant? He only knew two tunes, one was Yankee Doodle and the other wasn't after all.

J.J.

Washington, Monroe, Jackson, Polk, Buchanan, A. Johnson, Garfield, McKinley, T. Roosevelt, Taft, Harding, FDR, Truman, L. Johnson and Ford were all masons.

Your other one is a harder. Let me try...

Dewey, Goldwater, Stevenson, Dole, Thurmond, Wallace, McGovern, McCarthy and Harold Stassen, who was allowed into the Freemasons only upon being elected MN Governor.

I had a relative who was a mason so he told me a great deal of this seemingly worthless trivia. Tongue

I looked it up, J.J., to see if that answer could work...and it does. Eisenhower kept his hat as a West Point cadet in the 1910s his whole life. My question was, "Which president owned the same hat for 50 years?" not "Which president wore the same hat for 50 years." The answer to the former question is John Quincy Adams, the answer to the latter could well be Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Ask a question J.J.

Who was the first President to win the popular vote in his own home state, as well as his opponents?

Franklin Peirce in 1852, I think.

Louisa Adams, wife of John Quincy Adams.  She was born in London.

100% correct Ben, but you knowing your history is no surprise. Smiley
