RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Rogerm - 12-29-2014
Does US law allow vice-presidents to serve only two four-year terms the way it does presidents?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 12-29-2014
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)

Just for the icing - what unique feature excludes any further former vices?
They are all dead?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 12-29-2014
Excellent, Roger, that is correct.

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.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 02-17-2015
Which President wrote, "Assassination can no more be guarded against than death by lightning and it is not best to worry about either."
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 02-17-2015
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.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 02-17-2015
That is very logical thinking, Eva. Kudos. However, it was not Andrew Jackson who said this.

James A. Garfield. Ironic!
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 02-17-2015
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.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 02-17-2015
Congratulations Joe.
I hear she likes Olive Garden
(private joke, Joe's kind of picky on Italian restaurants)
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - LincolnToddFan - 02-17-2015
LOL!!! Olive Garden!!!!

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - L Verge - 02-18-2015
I'm afraid to ask this, Joe, but what is your favorite Italian dish (and don't say Sophia Loren)?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Wild Bill - 02-18-2015
Well, I do not know about anyone else but Sophia Loren is MY favorite Italian dish--along with Judge Jeanine Pirro, of course
