Presidential Trivia

[Sensei]

I'll ask a question since J.J. forgot to:

Who was the first president to throw out a ceremonial first pitch at a baseball game?

Taft?

This then living president was "seen" in the Star Trek, the Original Series.  Who was it?

Eisenhower?

Eisenhower?

Correct.  In the first pilot, "The Cage," which was later re-edited into "The Menagerie," Eisenhower's sketch appears on a view screen while Spock is searching the library computer.

I would have guessed he appeared in the World War II footage during "The City on the Edge of Forever" which I believe did show FDR (He was at least mentioned)

FDR was not a "then living" president, but you are correct.  Lincoln appeared on one episode, "The Savage Curtain."  IIRC, a sketch of JFK also appeared, but he was dead at that point.

[J. J.]

I also would have accepted LBJ.

Which sitting presidents appeared on the floor of the US Senate while it was in session.

[Joe Republic]

Which sitting presidents appeared on the floor of the US Senate while it was in session.

Well there's Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton for obvious reasons, but I don't know if there were any others.

Neither appeared on the floor of the Senate while it was in session while either was President.

Just the Senate, or might this have been a joint session held in the Senate chamber, back when such a thing might have been physically possible?

[Robespierre's Jaw]

I'm going to take a random guess, I'm assuming it's an early President so I will say George Washington.

You have one right.  There is another.

It was not a joint session.

John Adams is the likely second then, as he tried to do things Presidentially in the same manner as Washington.  Was the purpose of their presence related to the advice and consent powers of the Senate?

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I was thinking, could somebody sticky this thread?  It seems like it deserves it.

[J. J.]

John Adams is wrong.

[DWPerry]

Jefferson, possibly Lincoln

[J. J.]

Jefferson, possibly Lincoln

Wrong and wrong.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Well, it definitely wasn't Wilson.  LBJ perhaps?

[J. J.]

Well, it definitely wasn't Wilson.  LBJ perhaps?

No to Wilson, no to LBJ.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Now I'm thinking it's either James Madison or James Monroe. How close am I J.J?

[J. J.]

Now I'm thinking it's either James Madison or James Monroe. How close am I J.J?

Far off!  Neither is correct.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Ford?  I'm thinking it's likely someone who had a considerable Congressional career.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Now I'm thinking it's either James Madison or James Monroe. How close am I J.J?

Far off!  Neither is correct.

My life is Over! God this is a hard one. Could you give us a clue? Or will it be too easy if you do give us a clue.

[DWPerry]

ok, I'm gonna just start naming Presidents, stop me if I'm correct.

Jackson, Van Buren, Tyler, Buchanan, Harrison, Garfield, Taft (damn, that's it, it MUST be Taft)
Seeing as he had to be agreed upon by the Senate in order to become Chief Justice. Taft is my final answer.
