I know who (not Teddy, he was a "Rough Rider"), guess I don't know why...thought it was a not uncommon soldiery salute for an esteemed warrior. He looked rough though! Let's see if anybody can get the who and the why.

Question #52

What do former Presidents Benjamin Harrison and Grover Cleveland have in common?

rustybayonet · « **Reply #286 on:** February 19, 2014, 07:20:58 AM »

Answer #52 - Again no takers

Both Benjamin Harrison and Grover Cleveland hold the distinction of defeating an incumbent president and being defeated by each other. Cleveland was defeated by Harrison in 1889, then four years later, in 1893 Cleveland defeated Harrison. As a side note; Cleveland also holds the distinction of being the only President to serve two nonconsecutive terms Number 22 and 24 because of this.
