Presidential trivia quiz...
I'll start:

1) Who is the only President to have been elected to every office in our political system: City Councilman, Mayor, State Representative, State Senator, Governor, US Representative, US Senate, Vice-President and President?

2) Who is the only President who was illiterate at the time of his marriage?

3) Who is the only President to serve the US Senate after being President?

4) Who is the only President to serve in the US House of Representatives after being President?

5) Who is the only President to serve on the Supreme Court after being President?

1. I answer to Andrew Johnson to all the above
Actually, just the first three. I don't know about four and five I think was Taft. I only know this because of some marathon the History Channel showed this weekend

4. hrmm.....
I don't know offhand, but for some reason I'm thinking Truman. (at least you know I don't cheat!)

I know both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died on the 4th.

7. Not Truman
I'll leave the question open for now in case someone else wants to join in.
