Presidential Trivia Answers (March 28 & 29)

Thanks for playing!

(1) QUESTION: True or False? We’ve never had a President who is bald. (Or is the polite way to say that “follically challenged”?)

ANSWER: True, although one or two were perhaps pushing the envelope. Are good hair genes required to run for President?

(2) QUESTION: True or False? Donald Trump was the first President not to bring a pet dog into the White House since William McKinley.

ANSWER: True. One of these dogs is immortalized in a painting at the White House. Grace Coolidge is pictured with her dog Rob Roy, and the painting hangs in the China Room at the White House.

(3) QUESTION: True or False? Fewer than five of our Presidents were under the age of 50 when they took the oath of office for the first time.

ANSWER: False. Nine of our Presidents were under the age of 50 when they entered office: Barack Obama; Bill Clinton; John F. Kennedy; Theodore Roosevelt; Grover Cleveland; James A. Garfield; Ulysses S. Grant; Franklin Pierce; James K. Polk
