But you said the first FORMER president to live into the 1900s. Since he was re-elected, would not Harrison have been the first former president in terms of last serving in such capacity? The paradox continues. Well, in one sense, Harrison was, and in another, Cleveland was. Let's just say they were bo

But since you say the first to survive into the 20th century, I gather that Benny did not long survive his reign. Benjamin Harrison? He lived into the 1900's, I believe. But Cleveland was elected before him, so he was the first. Also, Cleveland survived 7 years longer into the century than Harrison did.

Getting back on track, we reach Grover Cleveland. Cleveland was the only president to serve two nonconsecutive terms. Between 1860 and 1912, he was the only Democrat elected to the presidency. Cleveland vetoed more bills than any other president; in fact, more bills than all 21 presidents before h

As far as how "Christian" it is...hmm, isnt the extreme seperation of church and state something ALL liberals screech for at the top of their lungs? Again, you play it both ways. What a load of crap. Um, just to say, I believe he was saying it is inconsistent with Christian conservative beliefs, not tha

Why? Mulling over the rankings I had given, gave thought to the future presidents, and decided that a slight switch in some of the rankings was in order.

Attention all readers! Effective Immediately: A switch in the rankings. Madison has been bumped to 17, Adams to 18, Lincoln to 3, and Washington has been promoted to 1. Thank you.

I gather, when you say "Never be nominated" you mean for President. Only 4, really? I had never tried to count that Jeopardy question! Yes. I've never seen it as a Jeopardy question, but I'll be there waiting when they do... <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class=

After a long delay, here is Chester A. Arthur. Arthur was one of only four presidents to never even be nominated in his own right. As a conservative Stalwart, Arthur had served as a compromise for accepting the reform-minded Garfield as the presidential-nominee. A product of patron

--Not officially, though tons of northerners wanted to go south and kick the "pants" off off the southerners.....that they were traitors,etc... and i too am historically nit-picky..... True, popular opinion was for war. My only point is that war did not come until the fall of Fort Sumter. And there is n

Actually the Confederate States simply seceded from the Union. The Union declared war on them in response. Not entirely true. War was not declared when they seceded. The Union adopted a somewhat conciliatory attitude toward the Confederacy until they attacked and captured Fort Sumter. I'm so historicall

I look at this the opposite way you do. I think that people matter, but it's the government style that determines (for the most part; there are exceptions) the way the country will go. The actual leader has much influence, but the course the nation takes would be radically different if there was a different government style in pl

Keep at it NJ. You're a damn good writer! Thanks. I don't really think of myself as a good writer, but if you insist.

I believe it does matter. Dictatorial governments are only enablers for totalitarian regimes to flourish. The title is a bit misleading; of course governments matter, I just think people matter more. I even said in my article: <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-B
