I got 7 of 8 right, this one is pretty easy, most of you will get all of them right.


1) Donald Trump is our 45th president, but only 44 individuals have ever held the office.

2) John F. Kennedy was the youngest person to become president.

3) The teddy bear was named for President Theodore Roosevelt.

4) Among presidents, John is the most common first name.

5) The heaviest president, William Howard Taft, was so large he had a special seven-foot-long bathtub installed at the White House to accommodate his size.

6) Ronald Reagan was an actor before becoming president.

7) Richard M. Nixon is the only president to have been impeached.

8) George Washington lived in the White House.


1) Grover Cleveland became our 22nd president in 1885 but lost his bid for reelection to Benjamin Harrison. Cleveland came back four years later, however, to become our 24th president—and throw a wrench in our presidential count.

2) Kennedy, at 43, was the youngest person to be elected president, but Theodore Roosevelt actually became president at 42. Roosevelt was vice president when William McKinley was assassinated in 1901.

3) President Roosevelt was sometimes called "Teddy." He once refused to shoot a black bear that some of his aides caught for him on a hunting trip because he thought it would be unsportsmanlike.

4) We've actually had six presidents named James: Madison, Monroe, Polk, Buchanan, Garfield and ("Jimmy") Carter. Four were named John and four were named William

5) Taft weighed more than 300 pounds and reportedly liked a nice bath. The National Archives displayed a replica of the tub in 2009.

6) Reagan acted in such films as "Knute Rockne, All American," about a Notre Dame football coach and player, before being elected governor of California in 1966.

7) The House of Representatives can vote to impeach a president, a process in which the president is tried before the Senate and may be removed from office. Nixon resigned before the House voted on impeachment. Presidents Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were impeached but were not found guilty; both remained in office.

8) President Washington selected the site for the White House, but a sitting president didn't live there until John Adams moved into the unfinished home in 1800.

It is interesting that I don't know the answer to #4. I'm lazy, is that true? Oh, never mind. The answers appeared in the Quote.

Here's another wrong statement:

Pres. G. Washington dedicated and began the building of the White House by laying the cornerstone, but never lived in it.
Harry S. Truman lived in the Blair house for nearly 4 years while the White House was renovated.
