I Googled Ida McKinley, but I didn't see a good rememblence in any of her photo's I found.
I used my knowledge of clothing styles to try and figure it out. The first photo's neckline gave me some hints (as did the tinting of the cheeks) that led me to think late-1860s. The second photo's dress style was a dead giveaway as to being ca. 1860. Combining the two guesses put me in the 1870 range, and I started from there.

Which President had this device installed in the White House?

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 07-15-2015
I'll guess Teddy Rooselvelt even though the saddle doesn't seem to fit him.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Jim Page - 07-15-2015
Ronald Reagan?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - L Verge - 07-15-2015
I cheated! However, from what I read on several sites, the President was Cowboy Calvin Coolidge - and he supposedly wore only underwear and a cowboy hat while "exercising" on his version of a mechanical bull. I was surprised at how many Commander-in-Chiefs have had "cowboy fetishes."
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 07-15-2015
Kudos, Laurie. That is correct.

You win one electric exercise horse!

Name the president who kept a copy of the famous print "Lincoln Signing the Emancipation Proclamation" which was hanging on the wall in the room where he was born and on the wall of the room where he died?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 07-29-2015
Warren G. Harding as he was the first to be born after the painting was finished?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 07-30-2015
Excellent and logical guess, Eva, but it was not Harding.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 07-30-2015
Hint #1:
This question was not mine. It was submitted by Dr. Blaine Houmes.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 07-30-2015
? (I don't get the hint...) Wild guess - Truman?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 07-30-2015
That is another excellent guess, Eva, but it was not Truman.
Hint #2: A chicken.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 07-30-2015
Hoover?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 07-30-2015
Calvin Coolidge ?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Jim Page - 07-30-2015
Herbert Hoover?
