1. Theodore Roosevelt
   Woodrow Wilson
2. Calvin Coolidge
   Chester A. Arthur

Teddy Roosevelt was on a hunting trip for bears, but had not seen any in days. Not wanting to let down the VIP, the organizers found an old bear and tied it to a tree. Teddy refused to shoot something in such an unsportsmanlike way and as a result of his compassion, he became associated with bears.

1. Lymphoma
   Polio
2. Arthritis
   Measles

FDR's childhood bout of polio got into his immune system and made him unable to walk very well. He used to hold onto the podium and was only photographed from the waist up if he had his leg braces on. He never let Americans see him in a wheelchair, in fear of making the public think he was weak.

1. Grant
   Trick question! Two presidents do!
2. Truman
   Roosevelt

Yep, Presidents Truman and Grant both have an extraneous middle initial! In Grant's case it was because his mother's maiden name was Simpson and a clerk made an error, but it's really not clear what happened with Truman.

1. JFK
   FDR
2. Dwight Eisenhower
   James Polk

FDR realized that the way government had been working up to his tenure was leaving too many people out of wealth-building structures that enabled them to get ahead and maximize their potential - and that this was holding back the economy. The New Deal was all about ensuring fairer wages, health care and education for as many as possible.

1. JFK
   FDR
2. LBJ
   Richard Nixon

JFK promised that there would be a man on the moon by the end of the decade, and so there was! He did not live to see it, though.

Fourteen presidents have been Freemasons, which means belonging to a fraternity of men who believe in a higher power and have an international network of fellows. This has understandably led to an amazing array of conspiracy theories.

1. Donald Trump
   Bill Clinton
2. James K Polk
   John Tyler

Donald Trump holds the distinction of being the only president to be divorced twice. He met his second wife during his first marriage and began an affair. The second marriage did not last long and that wife, Marla Maples, had very little to do with him afterward, raising their child with almost no input. Despite infidelities, his third marriage has lasted to the current time. This also means he is the only president with five children by three mothers.

1. Donald Trump
   George W Bush
2. Bill Clinton
   Rutherford Hayes

Bill Clinton swept to office with a substantial victory in the popular vote and the electoral college. Five presidents have lost the popular vote but took office anyway: the second Adams, the second Harrison, the second Bush, plus Hayes and Trump.

1. Ulysses S Grant
   Harry S Truman
2. Dwight Eisenhower
   James Tyler

Grant's Tomb used to be the most popular tourist attraction in Manhattan due to his heroism in bringing about the end of the Civil War. You can still visit it today.

1. Millard Fillmore
   William Howard Taft
2. Donald Trump
   Rutherford B. Hayes

Taft was so large that a special chair was made for him when he visited Mission Inn in Riverside, CA. It is still on display there. He also had a special giant bathtub.

1. Andrew Johnson
   Bill Clinton
2. Donald Trump
   Martin van Buren

Johnson was impeached for illegally removing his Secretary of War, but survived in office due to the Senate acquitting him. Likewise Clinton was impeached for lying about his sex life but was acquitted.

1. George Washington
   Thomas Jefferson
2. John Adams
   Martin van Buren

Yep, that's correct: Our first seven presidents were not born U.S. citizens, as the USA did not exist at the time of their birth. Since Martin van Buren, 100% of U.S. presidents were born American citizens on American soil.

1. Franklin Pierce
   Andrew Jackson
2. James Garfield
   Woodrow Wilson

Andrew Jackson was a military man who became president and duly continued about his affairs like someone who was still running an army. Among his most memorable deeds was the Trail of Tears, whereby he forcibly relocated five Native American tribes across thousands of miles of American land, thus resulting in tens of thousands of deaths.

1. Donald Trump
   George Washington
2. Thomas Jefferson
   Teddy Roosevelt

The wealthiest president was the first: George Washington, then the richest man in the colonies. Other presidents have been very rich, or got rich out of office. While Trump certainly lays claim to billions, it was revealed that his company revenues were only 1/9th of what he had reported to the press, and that he admitted to valuing his own name's brand as being worth several billion and changing depending on "how I feel."

1. Millard Fillmore
   James Madison
2. Thomas Jefferson
   John Adams

John Adams wrote these beautiful words to his wife, describing his hopes for his descendants. They must have done something right, as one of their sons also became president - though the others did not fare so well, with alcoholism running amok throughout the family tree.

Yep, America has had six presidents called James! They are: Buchanan, Polk, Madison, Monroe, Garfield and Carter. The latter went by "Jimmy" but was christened James.

1. Adams and Jefferson
   Adams and Jackson
2. Fillmore and Cleveland
   Buchanan and Johnson

Adams and Jefferson hated each other, but couldn't get away from each other. Fittingly, they were thus forced to share a date of death to make them have neighboring obituaries. They died on July 4th 1826.

1. William Howard Taft
   John Quincy Adams
2. James Polk
   John Jay

Taft held office as POTUS from 1907-1913 and was head of SCOTUS from 1921-1930. He remains the only person to hold both offices.

1. Millard Fillmore
   Zachary Taylor
2. Andrew Johnson
   Calvin Coolidge

The first Johnson felt that his election to the Senate undid the bad taste left by his tattered presidency. However he is still regarded as a terrible president due to his opposition to human rights for African-Americans.

1. Woodrow Wilson
   Teddy Roosevelt
2. Calvin Coolidge
   William Howard Taft

Calvin Coolidge was notorious for being a quiet sort of person, but he still holds the honor of being the first president to be recorded speaking on film. There is silent footage of earlier presidents and there are voice recordings, but not the two together.

1. William Henry Harrison
   Benjamin Harrison
2. Chester A Arthur
   Grover Cleveland

Harrison's voice was recorded on an Edison phonograph wax cylinder in the first year of his presidency. You can go on YouTube and check out the recording for yourself! It's brief but significant.

1. James Polk
   John Tyler
2. James Buchanan
   Herbert Hoover

James Buchanan was not married during his life and it is believed that his close personal friend William Rufus King was in fact his lover. Harriet Lane, his niece, performed the duties of first lady during his term in office.

1. William Henry Harrison
   Warren Harding
2. Woodrow Wilson
   Franklin Pierce

It is believed that William Henry Harrison contracted pneumonia from the giving of his inaugural speech in arctic temperatures, without wearing a coat. He lasted a mere 30 days.

   Trick question: none did!

It's true: zero American presidents fought in Vietnam. Of the three who were the right age to serve ,Clinton and the younger Bush managed to get posted stateside and thus were allowed to serve without going to Vietnam. Trump managed to get five deferments and thus did not serve.

1. John Quincy Adams
   Martin van Buren
2. Zachary Taylor
   John Tyler

A daguerreotype of John Quincy Adams was taken in 1842. This was some years after he was in office.

1. Dwight Eisenhower
   Lyndon B Johnson
2. John F. Kennedy
   Harry Truman

JFK gave the first of these, of course: He was always very media-savvy and embraced television as the most powerful marketing tool ever created.

Richard Nixon is currently the first and only president to resign from office. Others died, as we have established, but he's the only one to leave early while able to do so under his own steam.

Eight American presidents saw active duty during the Second World War, heroically beating back the threat of the Nazis and imperial Japan. They are: George H.W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, Dwight Eisenhower, JFK, Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, Richard Nixon and Lyndon B. Johnson. Eisenhower's service was the most notable, as he commanded the entire Allied army. Carter's was probably least notable as he was a mere midshipman at the Naval Academy, but that's a little unfair as he wasn't old enough to deploy yet: if the war had continued, he would certainly have fought.

1. James Polk
   Millard Fillmore
2. Grover Cleveland
   Teddy Roosevelt

Cleveland served two terms but not together. He is typically counted as two presidents for this reason, which results in some serious confusion among many people counting our leaders!

1. Chester A Arthur
   Franklin Pierce
2. John Tylor
   James Madison

Franklin Pierce was an absolutely awful president in many ways, as he regarded the Abolitionist movement as a threat to the nation and wrought the Kansas-Nebraska Compromise which helped extended the lifetime of slavery as an institution. He also enforced the Fugitive Slave Act, which returned many escaped slaves to the South. That said, he did have a Christmas tree, which is a nice tradition that has been upheld by presidents since.

1. George H.W. Bush
   Gerald Ford
2. Richard Nixon
   Calvin Coolidge

George H.W. Bush was the first president to pardon a turkey. However the tradition of sparing a bird on Thanksgiving goes back to the days of FDR and the 1940s.

1. Jack Ruby
   Lee Harvey Oswald
2. Charles Guiteau
   John Wilkes Booth

While the assassins of the other presidents shot in office are household names and conspiracy theory staples, Guiteau is virtually unknown. Likewise the shooter of McKinley, Leon Czolgosz.
