Since Libertas got it so fast, lets try another one today.

Question #23

Name the two Presidents that were Vice-Presidents for two terms, but were elected President for only one full term.

There's two answers to this one...

Thomas Jefferson and James Madison both had George Clinton as Vice President
John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson both had John C. Calhoun as Vice President

Of the two I might want to hang out with George over John...Calhoun had that wild hair and those crazy eyes!

And didn't Clinton serve as both a General under Washington and NY Governor at the same time? Not sure that has ever occured any other time.

I don't know, George looks pretty crazy, too...

Y'all are getting to good - here comes the next one

Question #25 This president won with an astounding 80% turnout won a smaller margin of the popular vote but large margin of the electoral vote - who was he and what year?

yankeestom · « **Reply #130 on:** January 24, 2014, 04:23:47 PM »

I think Reagan had the biggest electoral vote landslide in the 1984 election, but I have no idea what the turnout percentage was.

AmericanPatriot · « **Reply #131 on:** January 24, 2014, 06:55:03 PM »

FDR?
But not sure of year.
Or even sure it was FDR

rustybayonet · « **Reply #132 on:** January 24, 2014, 09:32:21 PM »

# 25 Both good guess but neither is correct. Those that you name had one or more of the parts but not totals, and none of them got 80%.

The president was William Henry Harrison and the date he was elected was 1840. As known from before, he took office in 1841 and only lived for 30 days, so it really was for nothing. His campaign is remembered as one of if not the first to use 'dirty slanderous' slogans and signs
[ spin]. Two of the adverse slogans against his opponent; : A First-Rate Second-Rate Man" and "Martin Van Ruin". He also handed out little bottles of 'hard' cider, with bottles shaped like log cabins. His supporters used the slogan "Old Tippecanoe and Tyler Too".

Question #26 What president was accused of putting gaming tables in the White House, with taxpayer money?

rustybayonet · « **Reply #134 on:** January 26, 2014, 12:20:53 PM »

second no taker question -- John Quincey Adams was the president. He did put a 'pool table and chess set in, but some in congress didn't get the memo, I guess, because it was his own money the purchased the "gaming equipment". Sound familiar---?

Question #27 Where was President Garfield assassinated?

AmericanPatriot · « **Reply #136 on:** January 26, 2014, 12:27:36 PM »

I think it was New York and want to say Buffalo.
Off the top of my head

rustybayonet · « **Reply #137 on:** January 26, 2014, 12:52:53 PM »

Fast answer AP, unfortunately not the right one - sorry

At the Baltimore & Potomac Railroad Station in Washington, D.C.

I have no idea why I know this.
