Who was the only bachelor President?
Who was the first photographed President?

Grover Cleveland for the first one.

Lincoln is the obvious guess for the second one since photography really took off in the 1860s, but I'll bet you're going to tell us there was someone earlier.

A guess would be: poor ol' William Henry Harrison or maybe James Madison, since the Brits burned the thing down around that time.

indianasmith · February 22, 2009, 12:48:22 AM

Madison lived in the White House BEFORE the Brits burned it, so my guess would be his successor, James Monroe . . . but that's just a guess.

Which President tied with his own running mate in the electoral college?
