Presidential tidbits they didn't teach you in school---unless you went to...an obscure one.

Can You Guess These 10 Obscure US Presidential Facts Correctly?

The correct answer is James Buchanan. To add insult to injury, poor James tends to rank as a bottom 10 President in political studies. Yeesh. Let's hope he at least had a nice pet rock to help him cope.

Let's be honest---you guessed Nixon, didn't you?

Warren G. Harding lost the White House's china collection in a single hand. That's what happens when you get cocky with pocket rockets.

Are we for absolute certain the answer isn't Donald Trump?

The parrot literally had to be removed from Jackson's own funeral because it was swearing so much.

Cursing parrot...Andrew Jackson's legacy.

How do you even recover from that? (you don't)

The mishap essentially went on to become a Japanese meme. They coined the phrase, "Bushu-suru." Which translated to English means, "'to do the Bush thing."

At least it happened before dinner...?

Back before reality stars becoming presidents was a thing.

There aren't any swimsuit beach photos. I checked. 8 times. I'm straight.

Salute!

Since there were so many politicians who wanted to run for presidency, he promised he'd be done after his first term, leaving the door open for someone else the next time around. Donald Trump somehow didn't need to utilize this same strategy.

Give the people what they want---non-commitment.

They found a cancerous lesion in Grover Cleveland's mouth and wanted to keep the entire surgical procedure hush hush. Good thing there was no such thing as a narcotic induced Twitter rants back then.

Vulcanized rubber, that is. In case that helps this sound any better.

George W. would often organize, "exuberant pep talks and skits during weekly assemblies." I'm imagining popsicle stick figures. Anyone else getting a popsicle stick figure vibe here?

So long as I'm the head cheerleader, my measure of success is victory---and success.

Yeah, he's short...but he was a US President and Colonel of the American Revolutionary War. What have YOU done today?

Don't be hate'n'.

I couldn't even make up that random combination of things.

This one was a freebie.

Please go back to your school of education and let them know how they can improve their curriculum.
