The first eight Presidents of the United States were
(1) George Washington
(2) John Adams
(3) Thomas Jefferson
(4) James Madison
(5) James Monroe
(6) John Quincy Adams
(7) Andrew Jackson
(8) Martin Van Buren

What fuel did these men used to heat their homes?
What fuel was used to heat the White House while they served their country as President of the United States? :confused:

The answers to your questions, doc, are pretty much self evident but I've got another one:

Of your list of eight presidents how many were NOT born in the United States?

What were the available options at the time?

I would believe the answer to be "none" as I think the constitution requires the president to be native born.

Check the date on the Constitution relative to Washington's presidency and you'll find your point is moot.

None of them were born in the United States since the United States did not exist at the time of their birth, therefore, they could not have been born in the USA.

Thomas Jefferson was the first President to occupy the White House.

George Washington started off in New York, moved to Philadelphia. John Adams began in Philadelphia, not sure if he ever moved to Washington as the capital was moved during the election year when Jefferson won.
 
What about this???

History Mystery

Have a history teacher explain this----- if they can.

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday .
Both Presidents were shot in the head

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln .

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln , was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.



John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln , was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.



Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made by 'Ford.'

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And further interesting ...

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.


I'm not certain of the accuracy of this info.
It was emailed to me the other day...

Looking at this I'm just hoping that I'm not elected president in 2060.
 
I don't know all the particulars behind his birth but heard they were in Kenya at the time.

Wouldn't it be ironic if he was switched at birth with the real Obama. And the real Obama has never set foot in the US ?

Food for thought. :popcorn:
