Happy President's Day!

Hi everyone!
I know it's only been one day, but we have not gotten approval to go yet. My mom and I thought today would be the day, and we're hoping so much that it is.
I also wanted to say Happy President's Day!
Here are some random president facts:

Did you know...?


When he was inaugurated, George Washington was down to his last real tooth.

James Madison was 5'4" tall, and weighed 98 pounds.

John Quincy Adams had a pet alligator, and had a pool table installed at the White House.

William Henry Harrison's inaugural address was two hours long, despite the fact that it took place in a freezing downpour. He refused to shorten his speech or even put on a coat. He quickly developed a cold, which then became pneumonia, and was dead within a month. His is still the longest inauguration and shortest presidency.

Andrew Johnson was illiterate until his wife taught him how to read in his young 20s.

Ulysses S. Grant's real name was Hiram Ulysses Grant making his initials H.U.G.

James Garfield could simultaneously write in Latin with one hand and Greek with the other.

Electricity was installed in the White House when Benjamin Harrison became president. He and his wife were horrified at the prospect of being electrocuted, so they never touched the light switches. The lights remained on at the White House during the entire Harrison presidency.

Enjoy,
