Presidential Trivia

---George Washington, the first president of the United States of America, and the first national president in world history, set many precedents for successive chief executives to follow. However, his formal display of wearing a sword at his side and standing on a dais while receiving visitors never made it onto the list of proper protocols for U.S. presidents to follow.
---John Adams, the second U.S. president, was the first to live in the White House, taking up occupancy there in 1800, before the structure was fully completed.
---John Quincy Adams won neither the popular vote, nor the electoral college to become the sixth U.S. president. Instead because none of the four candidates in the 1824 presidential election attained a clear majority, Adams was chosen by the House of Representatives, led by the support of Henry Clay.
---Franklin Pierce, 14th president of the U.S., tried to purchase Cuba from the Spanish but his offers were refused.
---Chester A Arthur, 21st U.S. president, carried the moniker "Elegant Arthur" due to his stylish and stately mannerisms.
---Stephen Grover Cleveland is the only person (to date) to serve nonconsecutive terms as President of the United States, having been the nation's 22nd and 24th presidents.
---Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt had a boxing ring installed in the White House during his tenure as the 26th US president.
---William Howard Taft, after serving as the nation's 27th president, went on to serve the U.S. again as chief justice.
---Three U.S. presidents are well known in history by their initials -- FDR, JFK, and LBJ -- Franklin Delano Roosevelt, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, and Lyndon Baines Johnson, respectively.
