Easy Question:

[J. J.]

Sons of the American Revolution.

Correct, after a zillion clues. 

You must be logged in to read this quote.

It would have to be Presidents after 1921.

My guesses are Reagan. Kennedy, and Clinton.

Got it in one

Clinton, Dubya, and Carter

The question has already been answered correctly.

I thought he meant one of them was correct

So did I, actually.

Bump!

[J. J.]

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. 

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

[J. J.]

How many living direct decedents does George Washington have?

Zero.  Do you want to try my fairly easy question? 

[J. J.]

Bump.

[J. J.]

George W. Bush, President
White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave
Washington DC NW, 20502

Subject:______

Dear Mr. President,

Sincerely,
____

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

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

[J. J.]

Bump.

We still don't have a right answer.

[J. J.]

The Honorable George W. Bush President of the United States
White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave
Washington DC NW, 20502

Dear Mr. President,

Sincerely,
____

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."

Who was the first President to serve in Congress?

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?

Theodore Roosevelt?

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.

[J. J.]

Which Presidents served as mayors at any point during their political careers?

I know Andrew Johnson was and I think Grover Cleveland.

You've got two of them--there's one more.

I had to look it up, but Calvin Coolidge.

[J. J.]

How many Presidents have lost their home states, but still won the election?

Wilson is the only one I can think of.

[J. J.]

Wilson is the only one I can think of.

Well, was I right?

[J. J.]

Grover Cleveland, in the first race against Harrison?

[J. J.]

I better start answering again, as war is about to break out.

John Adams.

Jefferson

Buchannan

G H W Bush

Arguably Eisenhower (As NATO commander); Reagan was technically an envoy, IIRC.

Who'd I miss?

[J. J.]

Where did Jimmy Carter spend New Year's Eve of 1978 (1977-8)?  City and host.

[J. J.]

Iran is not a city.    Try again.

[J. J.]

Just a statement on the Reagan question. Many of you are close to the right answer, some are not.

The true information is...

The last democrat that Reagan supported nationally was Harry Truman in the 1948 election. He supported Eisenhower in 1952 and again in 1956. He endorsed and worked for Richard Nixon in 1960, not Kennedy, as Warner for Senate "knew" that he supported Kennedy in 1960. This was not true.

Reagan officially switched parties in 1962.

Oh yeah that reminds me I got that question right. Though I think it's JJ's turn to ask a question. Go ahead.

I'm running out of questions.

This man wrote FDR requesting samples of US money, but didn't any, and still hasn't.  Who is he?
