I really don't see the difference. They all run on tickets with different parties in NY.

Nationally, excluding states with fusion.

Lincoln and Andrew Johnson ran of the "National Union" ticket, though officially Lincoln was still a Republican and Johnson a Dem... if that counts.

How many Presidents have run on tickets with multiple parties?


These are all the ones I can think of:

John Quincy Adams (1824-Democratic-Republican, 1828-National Republican)
Martin Van Buren (1836-Democratic, 1848-Free Soil)
Abraham Lincoln (1860-Republican, 1864-National Union)
Theodore Roosevelt (1904-Republican, 1912-Progressive)

Millard Fillmore might not work because he was never elected President as a Whig candidate, though he did run under the American Party label in 1856.

My question is an easy one:

Who is the only Vice President to serve under two different Presidents?

George Clinton and John Calhoun (I had to look it up).

Who was the principal speaker when Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address?

I'm pretty sure it's Edward Everett (unless it was Charles Sumner, but I don't think that's right).

Which President later served in the Confederate House of Representatives?

Isn't it just Wilson?  (Maybe he's "entombed" but not buried or something).

Wilson is right.  (A lot of people get confused with the Presidents who are buried in Arlington, which is officially in Virginia.)

Next person ask a question.

I think the number might be much lower.

In the 20th Century, we have Taft?, Kennedy, Nixon, Ford and Clinton.

Possibly eight:

John Quincy Adams?

Franklin Pierce?

Rutherford Hayes

William McKinley

William Taft

Richard Nixon

Gerald Ford

William Clinton

A few more were admitted to the Bar, but didn't have a degree.

The only two that I can think of are Taft and Truman (but the judges in Mo. were more like county commissioners).

I've only counted 1, and that was Taft.
