BARACK OBAMA is our 44th president, but there actually have only
been 43 presidents: Cleveland was elected for two nonconsecutive terms and is
counted twice, as our 22nd and 24th president.
EIGHT PRESIDENTS never attended college: Washington, Jackson, Van
Buren, Taylor, Fillmore, Lincoln, A. Johnson, and Cleveland. The college that
has the most presidents as alumni (seven in total) is Harvard: J. Adams, J. Q.
Adams, T. Roosevelt, F. Roosevelt, Rutherford B. Hayes, J. F. Kennedy, and
George W. Bush.
THE OLDEST president
inaugurated was Reagan (age 69); the youngest was Kennedy (age 43). Theodore
Roosevelt, however, was the youngest man to become president——he was 42 when he
succeeded McKinley, who had been assassinated.
