IIRC I heard something about Andrew Johnson being a mayor or councillor when he was 20.
- So I'll stab at that being my answer.

Q. What do Presidents Garfield, Hoover, Truman, Ford, Reagan, Bush I and Clinton all have in common? This is a very easy one.

Quote from: Warner for Senate '08 on January 04, 2008, 10:41:49 PM

It is actually Congressman, with 20.

Which President served in Congress for a Territory and a State?

Well bugger me. I counted about 17 Governors off the top of my head...

Anyway - I'm pretty sure WH Harrison was a congressman for the NW territories and then Ohio.

My question is... How many times has an incumbent president been defeated at election?

Good job.  Who is the only President to return to Congress after his Presidency?

Andew Johnson.

He returned to the Senate, who returned to the House?

See above.

Now look at my question - not really a hard one.

Lord, I'm going to kick myself.

Well it obviously isn't Truman, T Roosevelt, Coolidge (since they all ran in their own right)

I'm trying to think of a president who wouldn't have voted for themselves.... perhaps for religious reasons? This is terrible.

I'll take a stab at Ford for the shortest record of longest lived.

Which Presidents (excluding Washington) were the only living U.S. President during their term?


I thought you meant only president alive during their ENTIRE term.

Damn... I would've given that answer.

And for oldest... Adams? for like 2 hours.

Actually, you couldn't be more wrong Tongue

Adams held the oldest for the longest amount of time, IIRC.  I think it wasn't until Reagan that Adams' record as the oldest living President was broken.

Adams was older than Jefferson when he died.

Both Adams and Hoover were 90 when they died.  I threw it out there... because I couldn't think

I almost said the CFR... but that wasn't founded until 1921.

If you are thinking of Bohemian Grove, the answer is ...














...NO!

I thought Regan, and Both Bushes were members of 'The Bohemian Society'.... but either way... I have no idea.

What year and who were the candidates in the only occasion where both halves of a major party ticket passed away during the term for which they sought election?

Wendel Wilkie/Charles McNary - both died before possible re-election in 1944.

In spite of personal differences what recreation was shared between Washington, Jefferson and Adams?

My guesses would be dancing and playing cards.

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?

Yeah... I'd think being in the employ of Hitler may well be the biggest deal breaker of all.

Were they still in office?

Because from what I remember, Wilson was the first sitting president to meet with the Pope...

If it's actually FORMER Presidents... it's who was out of office at the time and still alive...
