PRESIDENTIAL QUIZ FOR ELECTION DAY:

COMPLIMENTS OF MY DAD - a bit of a political enthusiast... (hence the reason for the urgent phone call I got Saturday asking me to pick up more badges to round out his collection)

Oh and don't worry if you don't know any of these... I only got TWO right. I'm kind of dying about that and thinking about going back to school because apparently I know nothing!

1. Who is the only person to serve 2 terms as vice president and 2 terms as president?

2. What was the official name of the political party that Teddy Roosevelt ran under in the 1912 election?

3. Who was the only president to never be married?

4. How many different vice presidents served during FDR’s tenure as President?

5. Who is the only person to ever serve non consecutive terms as president?

6 The election of 1800 had to go to the congress to elect a winner. The ballots were tied for 35 ballots. Thomas Jefferson eventually won the election. Who was the candidate who was tied with Jefferson on those ballots?

7. Who was the first Mormon to declare himself a candidate for President of the United States?

8. Before Bush 43, who was the last president to win the presidency while losing the popular vote? And before Bush 43, who was the last president to be elected without receiving a majority of the popular vote?

9. How many of the men we elected president have been impeached? And name him (or them).

10. Virginia is the state that has produced the most presidents. Name the state that has produced the second most number of presidents?

TIE BREAKER QUESTION: Who was the president that was sandwiched between the non consecutive terms of one of the presidents?

ANSWERS TO BE POSTED JUST AS SOON AS WE FIND OUT WHO ARE NEXT PRESIDENT WILL BE! Although, I don't feel like we'll be even a smidge surprised.
