February 23, 201016 yr Sorry about the confusion. I'm looking for votes garnered as the candidate for President. Its not Obama. Its not GWB. Its not Clinton. Its not FDR. Since he ran 3 times and the population was higher than during FDR's time I'm going to guess Nixon.
February 23, 201016 yr Since he ran 3 times and the population was higher than during FDR's time I'm going to guess Nixon. We have a winner. Who is the President that has 2 Grammy awards?
February 23, 201016 yr We have a winner. Who is the President that has 2 Grammy awards? I'll go with Obama, he's been awarded everything else. He'll likely get an Emmy for the State of the Union.
February 23, 201016 yr I'll go with Obama, he's been awarded everything else. He'll likely get an Emmy for the State of the Union. That made me laugh. And you are correct. The only President ever to obtain a patent?
February 23, 201016 yr That made me laugh. And you are correct. The only President ever to obtain a patent? My first thought was TR since he dabbled in a little of everything. But I seem to remember that Abe had a passion for inventions. So, I'll say Mr. Lincoln first, then Teddy. 1. Who was the only President to have been born on the fourth of July? 2. Also, three Presidents died on the fourth of July. Who were they? 3. One President's daughter was born on July 4th. Which one?
February 23, 201016 yr That made me laugh. And you are correct. The only President ever to obtain a patent? Lincoln did have a patent on some buoying contraption that prevented ships from getting stuck on sand bars.
February 23, 201016 yr 2. Also, three Presidents died on the fourth of July. Who were they? John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe. I know two of them died on the same day as well, (July 4th of the same year) but I can't remember which.
February 23, 201016 yr John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe. I know two of them died on the same day as well, (July 4th of the same year) but I can't remember which. I think it was Adams and Jefferson who died the same day.
February 23, 201016 yr I think it was Adams and Jefferson who died the same day. That would be correct. Within an hour of each other I believe.
February 23, 201016 yr I think it was Adams and Jefferson who died the same day. Yup, you're right. I just looked it up. They both died on July 4, 1826 and Monroe died on July 4, 1831.
February 23, 201016 yr That would be correct. Within an hour of each other I believe. Were they hanging out or something?
February 23, 201016 yr I'll steal the lead; Who was the first President to command the military in a war while serving as president, and what war?
