RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia
Does US law allow vice-presidents to serve only two four-year terms the way it does presidents?

Roger, that is a great question. I would also ask, "Can a two-term President later serve as Vice President?" (I would guess not as he or she would not be eligible to be President)

This is a very interesting question about vice-presidents. I looked online and found an article you can read here: http://www.factcheck.org/2008/04/vp-term-limits/

I am not certain about the accuracy this website, however, it does address the question.

Which President wrote, "Assassination can no more be guarded against than death by lightning and it is not best to worry about either."

Lightening reminds me of George Forquer's lightening rod, and the president back then was Andrew Jackson. So I guess him. Also he was Seward's role model, and Seward was prepared for assassination in such office.

That is very logical thinking, Eva. Kudos. However, it was not Andrew Jackson who said this.

Brilliant, Joe! Indeed it was Garfield.

Joe, you win a date with Matilda Edwards!

I learned the Garfield quote from reading Tom Bogar's American Presidents Attend the Theatre. We have talked a lot on the forum about Tom's Backstage at the Lincoln Assassination, but I heartily recommend this book by Tom as well.

Congratulations Joe.
I hear she likes Olive Garden
Big Grin

(private joke, Joe's kind of picky on Italian restaurants)

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?

I'm afraid to ask this, Joe, but what is your favorite Italian dish (and don't say Sophia Loren)?

Well, I do not know about anyone else but Sophia Loren is MY favorite Italian dish--along with Judge Jeanine Pirro, of course
