1. By "not buried" do you mean LIVING?
Is that a trick question? There are five living presidents and ex-Presidents (six if you count Gore.)

Garfield. He's interred above ground. (on edit: I assumed you meant a dead president.)

Reagan wore a nazi uniform in "Desperate Journey(s).

Edited on Fri Jan-14-05 06:19 PM by Heaven and Earth
I assumed the same, when I originally tried to answer these. It was for a man in the street presidential quiz for the local ABC affiliate

11. There are several other presidents interred above ground
I mean the dead ones.

Unless you say that the District of Columbia isn't part of the 50 states then the only answer I can come up with is Woodrow Wilson. He's in the National Cathedral.

8. Too easy.

Grant's buried in New York City, which Republicans don't consider part of the US. Does that count?

:)

Here's your answers:

They're all buried in the US, except the ones that are still alive:

Ford, Carter, Bush I, Clinton and Bush II.

Regan wore the Nazi uniform in a 1942 blight on our culture called "Desperate Journey".

9. I can
Q1 - Ford, g h wimp bush, Jimmy Carter, William Jefferson Clinton, and g coWard bush* the lesser

Q2 - This is tougher, if by most RECORDED popular votes not necessarily actual votes that would be the coWard from craWford
If by election you mean chosen by not outright means of fraud, I think that would go to ronnie raygun

Q3 - coWard bush*

10. wow, I feel dumb now.
I was tricked by the buried presidents one. It is, in fact, the five living presidents

The record for most votes is held by Richard Nixon, because he ran three times and won twice.

Why does everyone know about Reagan and his nazi uniform?

The other questions that I did know were oldest and youngest presidents, and the only president to marry a married woman (Andrew Jackson)

Thank you for participating!

12. I knew about Reagan
because I hated him so much. I had a friend make a button with Reagan in the nazi uniform from a picture I got somewhere (remember pre-internet days). I wore it every chance I got.

14. Gore's numbers
Edited on Fri Jan-14-05 06:51 PM by Mabus
for three elections 135,106,906 only 12,370,853 short of RMN's 147,477,759 for four elections.* No doubt he would have topped Nixon if he had been allowed to run for re-election in 2004 after winning the seat in 2000.

This is the last post. I swear. I was a history major and I do research for a living.


* numbers taken from Wiki pages.
