Fun facts about presidents! XD
Abraham Lincoln is the only US president to be a licensed bartender. He was the co-owner of the Berry and Lincoln in Springfield, Illinois.
The only president to be elected unaminously was George Washington. He also refused his presidential salary.
Harry Truman joined the KKK in order to win their support to win a judge's seat
Glover Cleveland is the only president to be a former hangman. He was once a sheriff and twice had to spring the trap of hanging
The 'S' in Harry S Truman doesn't stand for anything. Its not his middl ename. So you don't have to put a period after it.
Thomas Jefferson and John Adams traveled to Shakespeare's birthplace and cut some of his chairs to keep as souveniers. Thomas Jefferson was also arrested later because of some weird law in Vermont
Andrew Jackson was a tailor and he only wore suits he made himself
The 29th president, Warren Gamaliel Harding, repeatedly had 'innappropriate relations' with a young girl, Nan Britton, in a white house closet. On one occasion, the Secret Service had to stop his wife from beating down the door. (i personally would have let her. too bad we don't live in Hong Kong)
President Bush Sr. threw up on Japanses Prime Minister. So the Japanese added a new word to their language, 'Bushusuru', which means to do the Bush thing, publically throw up.
Jimmy Carter was the first president to be born in a hospital. He also was the first person to go on record for seeing a UFO
Lydon Johnson, like Mr. Harding, had certain 'fancies' so he installed an intercom system in his room so the Secret Service could warn him if his wife was coming.
James Buchanan was the only bachelor pres. He was virtually inseperable from Senator William R. King. This earned the pair the nickname, 'Miss Nancy and Aunt Fancy'
John F. 'Jack' Kennedy was the biggest 'player' in the pres world. Basically anyone he met was fair game. Actresses, a stipper once, the people who worked at the white house, ect
John Tyler had the most children. His last child was born when he was 70.
Ronald Reagan won the Most Nearly Perfect Male Figure Award from the University of California.
James Madison was the shortest pres. He was 5 4' and never weighed more than 100lbs
George Washington had the shortest speech. 130 words, less than two minutes
and their will be more because i found a list of 99... :P

those are pretty interesting fun facts
I love the whole thing about Mr. Harding and Lydon Johnson having a intercom in their office so they wouldnt have to listen to their wife complaning about the stupid little thing that they messed up on.... LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!
i think its really interesting how Harry Truman joined the KKK just to get their support.
The ones about the presidents and their affairs are kinda funny. And the fact that Abraham Lincoln had a bartender's liscense.
Those are really fun facts. i think it is fun to know some of the non-political sides of the presidents that we never get to see in the history books
Bahahaha these are funny. i am not usually a big fan of politics but learing funny new stuff about them is fairly interesting.
I was there when these things happened and it was extremely cool.
Haha. That's weird that a president would join the KKK.
cool stuff john tyler must have been a stud if he got women at the age of 70 but that is kinda weird at the same time i would think he would be to old to have kids and james madison was really tiny he should have lifted weights
