Today is President's Day so I decided to give some facts on Presidents that you may not have known.
Grover Cleveland is the only president to serve two non consecutive terms as he was the 22nd (1885-1889) and 24th (1893-1897) President. As a result, we've only had 44 people as President, not 45 as you may think.
27th President William Howard Taft (1909-1913) is the only man to serve as both President and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (1921-1930). He's also the last President to have had facial hair
The Adams' (John Adams and John Quincy Adams) and the Bushes (George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush) are the only father/son Presidents.
The Harrisons (William Henry Harrison and Benjamin Harrison) are the only grandfather/grandson Presidents
9th President William Henry Harrison (1841) had both the shortest Presidency at one month and was the first to die in office.
John Adams and Thomas Jefferson passed away the same exact date of July 4. 1826. Appropriately, the 50th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence
Only five times has someone been elected President despite not winning the popular vote. John Quincy Adams in 1824, Rutherford B. Hayes in 1876, Benjamin Harrison in 1888, George W. Bush in 2000, and Donald Trump in 2016.
Jimmy Carter is both the oldest president of all time at 95 and counting as well as having the longest retired president at 39 years and counting
The first inauguration actually took place on April 30, 1789. Then from 1793-1933, it was held on March 4th with the exceptions of 1821, 1849, 1877, and 1917 as March 4th fell on a Sunday. It wouldn't be until 1937 that inauguration day fell on January 20th.
Despite being the second President John Adams was the first to live in the White House which he moved into in 1800
At two and a half years as President, Gerald Ford has the shortest Presidency of a President who didn't die in office. He's also the only person to have been both President and Vice President but never elected to either position.
