Who was the first President not from the original 13 colonies?


You mean born outside? Lincoln.

Name the first president to attend a World Series game while in office?

No, I meant the first candidate to be politically outside the 13 colonies.

Jackson

Correct, and in response to your question, would it be Taft?

He attended the first MLB game while in office but it wasn't the World Series.

Harding?

Well bugger me. I counted about 17 Governors off the top of my head...

Anyway - I'm pretty sure WH Harrison was a congressman for the NW territories and then Ohio.



Good job.  Who is the only President to return to Congress after his Presidency?

Which presidents, despite being successfully reelected, got a lower percentage of electoral votes in their second election than in their first?



James Madison (1812)
Woodrow Wilson (1916)
Roosevelt (1940 and 1944)

I think that's it, but I could be missing one.

Nope, that's it.

Which Presidents have served as floor leaders in Congress, in either body?
