Presidents

[JohnFKennedy]

Could you name all 43 presidents in order without looking them up? don't post em here, just try it on a piece of paper and then say how many you got.....

[TheWildCard]

I can name them all in order without looking.

[JohnFKennedy]

same, just curious as to how many can, but could you name all the VPs wild? that is a trickier one.....

LOL nope can't name all the VP's  but being able to name all the Presidents in order and being able to state some fact or personal thought about each one is something I pride myself in. )

[Gustaf]

I can do that...now, but I couldn't when I first joined the forum, then I could only name 35 or something...I like learning stuff like that.

Can anyone name the 18 crewmen who followed Captain Bligh into the launch after the mutiny of the Bounty? Didn't think so....

(Now THAT'S what I call useless information...)

[JohnFKennedy]

sorry Johnson Andrew Johnson, got them confused, i just typed it out quickly before i went off to do something

[JohnFKennedy]

I couldn't put them with their dates, probs the 20th century ones but not before then.....

[Brutus]

No problem naming them all, with dates and parties too.  Of course I should be able to.  I was a history major and am an incurable political junkie.

[JohnFKennedy]

parties i could probs do all but a few.....

[Gustaf]

I used to be able to, but now I can't.  I get stuck afetr Lincoln.

AFTER Lincoln? Before Lincoln is the hard part, all this obscure Whigs who died quickly and had common names...

[JohnFKennedy]

before lincoln is what i had trouble with too but i got it in the end

[zachman]

I could name all the presidents when I was 6!!! I'm not sure if I still could. I sometimes get Buchannan and Filmore mixed up, and I struggle over the presidents of the late 1800s.

[JohnFKennedy]

[Gustaf]

Martin Van Buren
William Henry Harrison
John Tyler
James Polk
Zachary Taylor
Millard Fillmore
Franklin Pierce
James Buchanan

Show-off!

[TheWildCard]

The way I can remember is I have pretty strong opinions on each one. Well except for the ones that passed early in there terms I remember them because... For example when I think of William H. Harrison I think of Tyler. When I think of Garfield I think of Arthor. When I think of Harding I think of Coolidge....

sure, with VPs too (though I might have to stop to think for a second somewhere down the line). Year of birth, year of death, home state, state of birth...okay, that one for VPs will include some where I'm not entirely sure anymore...defeated major party candidates, with home states...that too may have a few gaps...defeated running mates is way too hard though...

There's a saying that no Americans remember losing VP candidates...

I remember my dad told me once that when he was working with a group of inernational economists, he said that and the American of the group was deeply offended, stating that there were lots of educated peolpe who did (he was an economist)...after which my dad asked him to name the most recent one - Nixon's running mate of 1960...which caused the guy to leave the discussion and hid lunch and sit in a corner for half an hour before shouting 'Cabot Lodge' all in a sudden, startling everyone...
