Hey Indy, were you answering my question, or Cheeze's? (Hint: say mine

).

Raffine · February 19, 2009, 08:37:40 PM

Zachary Taylor is correct. Turns out he ate some bad cherries and milk.

QuoteWhich President had a PhD

Woodrow Wilson

According to some historians, who was our first female acting president?

EDIT: Changed 'only' to 'first' to prevent confusion about the Condi Rice theory.

CheezeFlixz · February 19, 2009, 08:43:46 PM

Technically I believe Condi Rice was President for about 4 minutes do to some flub ups with timing on Jan 21 2009, so she was the first black president.

But that's likely not the answer you are looking for.

Raffine - Mrs. Edith Gault Woodrow Wilson

Powell - I forgot the question!

So - who got sworn into the Presidency by his own dear old Dad?

Correct on Mrs. Wilson. For the curious - after Wilson was almost totally incapacitated by a stroke during his second term it's believed Mrs. Wilson secretly made his executive decisions for him.

I believe Cheez answered the dad question with 'Calvin Coolidge' a few post ago. That's right, isn't it?

indianasmith · February 20, 2009, 12:27:44 AM

Yes, that is correct - I saw it when I read through the thread just now. All right, gimme a minute here . . . . AHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which President wouldn't visit a soup kitchen for fear of bursting into tears in front of the cameras?
Purely a guess - Common sense might dictate Herbert Hoover but I'll go wild with: George W. Bush.
