Richard Nixon - Amendment 26
George HW Bush - Amendment 27

Correct (I'm not sure about the 11th under Washington), and as to how the question was framed, Gerald Ford was not elected, but correct.

I listed Ford in my original answer.

And the 11th Amendment was ratified on February 7, 1795. (During the term of George Washington)


Next question:
Name the only 4 Presidents to serve as either a Representative, Senator or Supreme Court Justice after serving as President.

1. William Howard Taft - Supreme Court Justice
2. John Quincy Adams - United States House
3. Andrew Johnson - United States Senate
4. John Tyler (maybe) - Confederate States Congress

This is correct, John Tyler served in the Provisional Confederate Congress and was elected to the Confederate House of Representatives but died before being sworn-in to his full-term.

JQA. Then one time a reporter stole his clothes and refused to give them back until he got an interview.


What trait do Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush and Ross Perot all have in common?
All 3 are caucasian males.

True, but besides that
all 3 lived in Southern States during the 1992 Presidential campaign.

All 3 have been on the cover of Time Magazine

What physical trait, outside of being males, white, and up there in years, do Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush and Ross Perot all have in common?
