Correct, and in response to your question, would it be Taft?

He attended the first MLB game while in office but it wasn't the World Series.

Which presidents, despite being successfully reelected, got a lower percentage of electoral votes in their second election than in their first?



James Madison (1812)

Garfield (before it was official)
LBJ
Ford

What presidents were elected from two different states?

I checked Leip's maps and he has none. But I think it is...

Nixon (NY in 1968 and CA in 1972)
Ike (Was it TX in 1952 and PA in 1956)Huh

This may be a hard one.

This man had the distinction of being employed both by Adolph Hitler and FDR.  Who was he?

As much as I do not want a hint, this person was not a future president correct?

Who was the last president to served in the cavalry?

When I am elected, it will be me because I have served in a cav unit! Tongue

But for now - Reagan, 323rd Cavalry - a reserve unit out of Iowa
