Hold up, Roch.  Hawkeye has the floor.

(Although I'm fairly certain that the answer to yours is Grover Cleveland.)

Cleveland is correct.

Now the next one:

Which President lived the longest?

This one should be fairly easy.

Hmm... I'll test my knowledge.

Alligator: John Quincy Adams
Two bears: Jefferson

I can not for the life of me remember the other two.

Correct on those two.  Buchanan owned the elephant, and Teddy Roosevelt owned the zebra.


Next:  which president allegedly enjoyed having petroleum jelly rubbed into his scalp every morning during breakfast?

False. A little over 5 million net new jobs were created in Reagan's first term. I meant negative net job creation (in the first term) in case anyone was confused. Any more guesses?

Hoover is correct. Obama is not, since his first term is not over yet (I judge Presidents only whose first terms have already passed). You ahve any other gueeses as to whom the second President could be?

That's right. Bush Jr. is correct. There was a net loss of 16,000 jobs in his first term. Hoover is also correct, but Tuck had already guessed that.

Next question: Who was the last President to have a budget surplus for every single year of his Presidency?

No, but here's a clue:  Petroleum jelly was patented in 1872.  That should therefore rule out any president who served before then.

Secretaries of what?  Any department?  Are you including cabinet level positions and undersecretaries?
