I think I only know number 5…Harry Truman? Well, at least you know I didn’t cheat! lol
Truman is correct – the last POTUS who wasn’t a college graduate.
I need to brush up on more history!
I’ve always been a presidential history nut for some reason.
1. grant, bush, reagan, trump, clinton 4. kennedy 5.trump
For 1. Bush (Daddy) was a U.S. Rep. “W”, Reagan & Clinton had been governors. Grant is correct.
4. Teddy Roosevelt
5. Truman
The rest, IDK…
Thanks for the help 🙂 Maybe Eisenhower?
Ike was one! Spent his life in military and after WWII was President of Columbia University.
How did we do under Ike?
As a POTUS? He is ranked in the top 10 POTUS-in all historian rankings.
#4 you got- a trick question in a way- while JFK was the youngest elected- Theodore Roosevelt- who became POTUS when McKinley was assassinated is the youngest. .. and #5 is Truman… and for #1 Grant is correct.
We got some of the questions right- #1 the 5 POTUS who never had been elected to another office- Taylor, Grant, Hoover, Ike and Trump….. #2- in the early 70’s there was a period of no living former presidents when Nixon was POTUS-.. Truman and Johnson had died pretty close together- of course Kennedy and Ike were also dead at that point. Not until Milhous resigned did we have a living former POTUS. 3.. John Tyler who became POTUS with the death of Wm. Henry Harrison in 1841- had 15 children – and incredibly has 2 living grandchildren. Tyler’s first wife died- he remarried a much younger woman and fathered children up until he was 70- one of his younger children at an old age fathered those two boys- who are now in their 90’s–so a POTUS from 180 years ago- 2 living grandchildren. ….4- sort of a trick question- while JFK is the youngest elected POTUS- Theodore Roosevelt- who became POTUS when McKinley was assassinated is the youngest POTUS… 5- Harry Truman is the last POTUS who wasn’t a college graduate.
I did a post about John Tyler surviving an explosion aboard the USS Princeton in 1844. Tyler was 54 when he proposed to David Gardiner’s daughter Julia, whom was 20. Gardiner was killed in the blast.
Men can still father children, what, 20 minutes after death? LOL!
The Tyler story is remarkable!
Yeah it was…🤓
He did play an important role in American history- underrated is how he – the first Vice President to take over on the death of a POTUS- dug in his heels. Harrison’s cabinet thought they would just be able to control him- but he drew a line and told them like it or not- he was the POTUS!
This is interesting but, I question the conclusions drawn. I’ve had to, on several occasions, send the History Channel emails to correct some of their postings and they are not exactly the bastion of truth:

The link wouldn’t open..
Hm. On your phone or on your computer?
computer.
*scratching head*
Well, you could Google/Bing “john tyler most unpopular president” and the History Channel should come up.
Maybe WP is interfering but, it works on my end. I’m in the Reader.
Yeah, I always think of Kennedy as the youngest, not Roosevelt. For one thing, he LOOKED way older, lol
JFK was the youngest elected.
