1. President George Washington- Yeah, we all know he was first president. But he started out as an army general for the Revolutionary War!

2. President John Adams- John had a brother, Sam Adams, who mostly fell in the shadow of his presidential brother. However, energetic Samuel had a key role in the war for independence.

3. President Thomas Jefferson- Jefferson died on July 4th, exactly 50 years after the Declaration of Independence was signed. Ironically, John Adams, the former President, died a few hours later.

4. President James Madison- He was the smallest President ever, and had Madison Square Garden named after him.

5. President James Monroe- Once a farmer, the University of Virginia now stands where his farm once was. He had sold the land to the college.

6. President John Quincy Adams- Name sounds familiar, huh? Well, take a look back at president John Adams. John Quincy was the first president to have a dad as a president. Just a kid following in his dad’s footsteps.

7. President Andrew Jackson- This red-haired president’s wife died two weeks after he had been elected. Poor guy. He blamed John Quincy Adams for causing her death by making her depressed.

8. President Martin Van Buren- This guy was the first president not to be British, and the first president that was actually born in America – talk about patriotism! One thing that could be first noticed by looking at him were his ridiculous sideburns.

9. President William Harrison- The oldest president until Ronald Regan came along. His term only lasted 32 days! (March 4 – April 4) This puts him in first place for shortest terms.

10. President John Tyler- The first president to take office through vice presidency, taking office after Harrison. At first, there was some confusion as to whether or not he would take office. ‘Twas a close one.

11. President James Polk- This guy is the most unheard of president to date. He was inaugurated at age 49, the youngest president of that time.

12. President Zachary Taylor- Taylor’s nick name was “old rough and ready.” However, he was not ready to be president. He was uninterested, and his party had to drag him into running at first.

13. President Millard Fillmore- The last president from the Whig Party. Where was this guy born? The answer… in a log cabin!

14. President Franklin Pierce- After leaving office, this guy is famous for saying “there’s nothing left to do but get drunk.” After presidency, that is exactly what Franklin did. He had even got into a lot of accidents, including once running over an old lady in his carriage. Talk about someone who had to get a life.

15. President James Buchanan- This dude is the only president who never married. And no wonder why- He is described by many as lazy, and one of the worst presidents who ever lived.

16. President Abraham Lincoln- Yeah, yeah, we all know he was tall and is on the penny. But did you know he never took off a top hat if he could help it? He felt embarrassed without one.

17. President Andrew Johnson- After the assassination of the good president Lincoln, came his vice president. However, Abraham obviously didn’t make a very good choice; Johnson was the first president to be impeached.

18. President Ulessys Grant- Next time you pull out a fifty dollar bill, look down. You will see this man’s face right there. Grant is the president to be on the highest valued dollar, the highest being the 100, which is occupied by Ben Franklin, who was not a president.

19. President Rutherford Hayes- Sporting an about 5 inch beard, Hayes was the only president to to be elected through a congressional commission.

20. President James Garfield- He died about 4 months after his election, after being shot a couple months before. Me oh my.

21. President Chester Arthur- Was his vice. Especially toward the end of his term, he was considered in polls to be “the most handsome president.”

22. President Grover Cleveland- Ok… this dude was both the 22nd AND 24th president, making him the only president to serve two non consecutive terms. This makes him counted twice. He almost made it to be the 23rd president, and got more votes, just less delegates. Bet you didn’t know that…

23. President Benjamin Harrison- Haha, this president was only 5 feet, 6 inches. Definitely no basketball player.

24. President Grover Cleveland- Um… Here we are again! So, yeah, Grover ran for his second term for the second time after failing by a hair in the last election. Persistent, eh?

25. President William Mckinley- Was the 7th of nine kids. Make that 8 kids, though, after he was assassinated. Dang, people are violent.

26. President Theodore Roosevelt- Ok, prepare for a cool story. Roosevelt was generally known as Teddy, who’s hobby was hunting. One day, when hunting, his party shot a baby bear. Sympathetic, Teddy saved the bear that was accidentally shot, making a highly publicized story. Later, a toy maker made stuffed bears and named them “teddy bears” after this hero. And now we have Teddy Bears! =)

27. President William Taft- Had a sexy mustache. Nah… but he was both a president and a chief justice.

28. President Woodrow Wilson- This guy was once the president of Princeton University. Go Tigers!

29. President Warren Harding- Another bad president much? He had some of the worst ratings.

30. President Calvin Coolidge- As weird as his name sounds, he was a good president. Also, he was the only president ever to be born on July 4th. Talk about a sign?

31. President Herbert Hoover- This president has written 16 books- The most of any president.

32. President Franklin D. Roosevelt- Yes, most of us know that he served 4 terms of presidency, the most of anyone. But did you know that his Mother fiercely fought with him against marrying Eleanor Roosevelt?

33. President Harry Truman- When FDR died at the beginning of his 4th term, Truman took place. However, he didn’t get to enjoy the White House very long. The White House was under construction and considered unsafe, so he had to move out for a while during his presidency.

34. President Dwight Eisenhower- He made a lot of contributions to the U.S., including adding both Alaska and Hawaii to the States (thank him, Sarah Palin) and starting the interstate highway system.

35. President John F. Kennedy- Woot! We all know he was one of the best presidents ever- In fact, in polls he is ranked as the favorite former president of all time. But who knew that at first, early in life, his family was hated, because of their ethnic and religious backgrounds?

36. President Lyndon B. Johnson- This guy had suffered 3 heart attacks in his life, the third killing him. He is ranked as one of the presidents to be featured in the most books, video games, and movies… who knew?

37. President Richard Nixon- A criminal? Nixon was the only president to resign from office. Why? He was likely to be impeached because of a crime he committed, The Watergate Scandal, and quit before that could happen, having his vice pardon him. Sly.

38. President Gerald Ford- was the longest living president of all time, dying at age 93. When he did die, though, it was December 26, 2006, the day after Christmas. Good thing he didn’t celebrate Kwanzaa.

39. President Jimmy Carter- was opposed of the Death Penalty later in life. He also introduced the idea of “Life in Prison.”

40. President Ronald Regan- Hard-Core Republican, right? Well… Earlier in life he was a democrat. Meh. He also survived an assassination plot. Owned noob killer.

41. President George H. W. Bush- Calm down, calm down! This isn’t THAT Bush. But hey, did you know he postponed going to college for a while? He used the time to fight in World War II.

42. President Bill Clinton- Yep- here he is. Clinton had a very high approval rating even with his wife, with whom he cheated on with a prostitute. He almost became the first… gentleman? When his wife ran for presidency in 2008. Not as glamorous as being the Commander in Chief though, I imagine.

43. President George W. Bush- OMG. This guy has some of the worst approval ratings. He is also impersonated often, like on shows like Saturday Night Live. This guy is one of the only two presidents to have had a dad in office, the other being John Quincy Adams, as we discussed earlier. Couldn’t exactly follow in his Dad’s footsteps though… Also, while H. W. was born in MA, Bush Jr. is from Texas, yall.

44. President Barack H. Obama- Yeah! Our current president, and the first Black one. His mother is from Kansas, his dad from Kenya. Also the first president to have a favorite spot of basketball, to own a blackberry, and to have beaten a female candidate in the race to the office. Got a crush on Obama? Letus  hope the next eight (fingers crossed) are a good one for our country.

45. President ???- Ok, now for a prediction of Obama’s Successor. I’m thinking that after Hillary’s run, many women will try in 8 years. So…. I will guess our 45th president will be someone with high political status, like Britney Spears. Or maybe because George Bush is so loved, he will serve another 17 terms to make our country better and better. Then again, Jesus has a good chance, if he decides to run. Hmm… This will be a close one.

Now for some random facts…

The most common name for presidents so far is James. (James Buchanan, Garfield, Madison, Polk, and Monroe.)

The White House was built mostly with the help of slaves. O.o

The four presidents with the worst approval ratings are: Bush, Harding, Johnson, and Buchanan.) What Noobs.
