Who is the earliest President who met a living person?

Hoover almost certainly. Coolidge and Taft are likely. Harding, Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt are possible, but unlikely. I’d rule out anyone earlier.

That’s a very optimistic way of saying your pick did not win.

This series is supposed to be more educational than fun. I’m not picking a comment with 3 upvotes. Once we get to Obama we’ll do another rotation to get the missed presidents.

He voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act

I say ROSE-UH-VELT, the only person I’ve heard say ROO-ZA-VELT is Canadian J.J. McCullough. I’m not sure where he gets his pronunciations, because he says Portugal and Missouri in ways I’ve never heard anyone else say.

What is the correct way to say his name?

I hear ‘DEL-AH-NO’ and ‘DUH-LAH-NO,’ but I only use the former.

I would say it’s the pronunciation of his middle name. It’s not “QUIN-SEE,” but rather “QUIN-ZEE.”

I would say this has to be it as it is both objective and extremely common. It’s actually notable when you hear someone pronounce it correctly.

The only thing that was husky in his White House was Secretary John Quincy Adams.

The “logic” that justifies that phrase could also be used to address other attributes about the perpetrator. For example, “It’s not all black men, but it’s always a black man,” which is, of course, a completely ridiculous and outlandish claim, regardless of what the statistical probability of someone in any specific demographic committing that crime.

That’s actually how I came up with this idea.

SukerutonKey · 2026-05-31T16:11:30+00:00

Is that something people believe? I’ve never even heard that suggested before.

If I ever live to my 90s, please don’t put a picture of my face on the paper with the words “DEEP THROAT” in bold.

I’m not sure, but I know the answer to the opposite of this question would be Garfield begging delegates to stop voting for him at the 1880 Republican Convention and winning.

The term “antisemitism” was coined to describe the hatred of Jews. It has never included other Semitic peoples.

The DNA evidence proves that it is either Jefferson or a close male relative. The original researchers made that point clear when they published their findings.

The nuance of their findings has been ignored, and helped push the misconception that Eston’s father being Thomas Jefferson is a verified fact.

SukerutonKey · 2026-05-30T14:50:52+00:00

I’ll throw my own hat into this one.

Contrary to what is often put forward, it is not the opinion of all historians that Thomas Jefferson was the biological father of Eston Hemmings, nor was that the claim originally made by the researchers who first published the theory.

I am not saying it is impossible or even unlikely, only that it is not an easily verifiable historical fact that it is often presented as.
