I'll sum up the clues with the new ones:

Since this group was 1876 founding, it has included, 17 Presidents of the United States (out of 25), 1 prime minister, and 1 king. 

Three of the four currently living presidents are members. 

The prime minister was Winston Churchill; the king is Juan Carlos of Spain.

It's not a Masonic organization.

William Baldwin is listed in some places as a member; if that is correct, all the Baldwin Brothers are eligible.  I am in the process of applying as well.

New clue:

Barack Obama, Sr. could not, if alive, would not be eligible for membership, but Henry Louis Gates, Jr. is a member.

What is this group?


The Stone Cutters?

Now called the "No Homers"

No, though we inducted Obama at the last meeting.  Wink

It was answered, the Sons of the American Revolution, of which Carter, both Bushes, and King Juan Carlos are members.

Repeating the new question:

What are the proper ways to address an envelope to the President of the United States, mailed to the White House?  There are at least two correct answers, possibly more.

There are at least three, and that is not one of them.  Smiley

The salutation "Dear Mr. President," is correct.

That would be the fourth possibility.

I was looking for:

The Honorable George W. Bush
1600 Pennsylvania Ave
Washington DC NW, 20502

The President
1600 Pennsylvania Ave
Washington DC NW, 20502

The President of the United States
1600 Pennsylvania Ave
Washington DC NW, 20502

Not sure about the "NW."

James Madison, but I could be wrong. (And I'm assuming the Continental Congress doesn't count).

If I'm right, then here's my question:

Which President's mother (and possibly father also) refused to stay in the Lincoln Room of the White House because of a hatred for Abraham Lincoln?

You're correct, and I'm going to guess Woodrow Wilson

My second choice, but I don't know iof she was alive.  Roosevelt was younger and presient 12 years closer to the Civil War.

It's not Roosevelt, since his mother was dead by around 1890.  With that in mind, I'm going to guess Cleveland.

No right answers so far.  I'll give you a hint, think later than the Presidents you are currently guessing.

Gerald Ford was in Congress for an awfully long time (since 1948?), so that would be my guess.
