Every president has something to hide. In honor of Presidents’ Day, here are some intriguing facts.
George Washington was the only president ever to win office with no opponent. He also had only one real tooth, at times wearing dentures of various materials such as human teeth, animal teeth, ivory, or lead. Never wood. Guess his dentist had to draw a line.
Andrew Jackson, from Tennessee, was the only president to have been a prisoner of war, and was wounded in a duel at age 39. Beat a would-be assassin to death in the Capitol Rotunda after the assailant’s gun failed to fire.
Chester Arthur, a man about town, entertained lavishly and enjoyed going to nightclubs. “I may be President of the United States,” he once said, “but my private life is my own damn business.”
Teddy Roosevelt had the teddy bear named after him. He lost his sight in one eye while boxing at the White House.
Ronald Reagan was the first president to be divorced.
Barack Obama’s mother was from Kansas, his father from Kenya. Does not like ice cream because he worked in an ice cream shop as a teenager. Collects Spiderman and Conan the Barbarian comic books.
