One. Andrew Johnson. If the question's intended to mean "never received any form of formal schooling", that is.

That is how I meant it.

From the National Park Service Presidential Bio website
http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/Presidents/bioa.htm

"Just a few parents of Presidents survived to see their sons enter the White House, though most witnessed their early successes. The mothers of Washington, John Adams, Madison, Polk, Garfield, McKinley, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Truman, and Carter, the step mothers of Lincoln, Harding, and Ford, and the fathers of John Quincy Adams, Fillmore, Harding, and Coolidge survived through their children's inaugurations. Coolidge's father even enjoyed the unique privilege of swearing in his son.

In addition to these, both parents of Grant and Kennedy lived to see their sons assume the highest office in the land. Kennedy's two parents also survived his assassination, as did Lincoln's stepmother and Garfield's mother. The mother of Polk was the only other one to outlive her son. George Harding and Joseph Kennedy were the only fathers to survive their sons."

On October 30th, 1938, this was identified as the Secretary of the Interior and thought to be Franklin Roosevelt.  How was he?  Wink

Thomas McKean

Or Samuel Huntington, if "President of the United States in Congress Assembled" counts.
