Bill and Eva - all good guesses but not correct. Some may have smoked in school, but the one I am looking for was definitely caught and punished.


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 02-13-2017

FDR??


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 02-13-2017

Very logical, Eva, as FDR was a definite smoker, but it's not him who was caught and punished.


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 02-13-2017

Ok, three other ones would still come to my mind.

Grant?


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 02-13-2017

Hint #1: His presidency came after Grant but before FDR.


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 02-13-2017

McKinley?


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 02-13-2017

Nope.

Hint #2: His rebelliousness included not dressing according to regulations.

Correction - my bad - I was thinking of when he was in school.

His Presidency came after Grant but before Nixon.

THAT would be interesting trivia!

Yes, indeed. John Quincy Adams, among others, for that, but not the answer to this question about the President who was reprimanded for smoking in school.


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 02-13-2017

...and he was said to swim naked in the Potomac each morning.


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - L Verge - 02-13-2017

Wild Guess: John F. Kennedy?

Not sure about the smoking while in school, but while in the White House, he was known for liking to swim naked in the indoor pool.


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 02-13-2017

Nope, the correct answer is not Kennedy.

Hint #3: The school in this question was not grade or high school.


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 02-13-2017

LBJohnson?


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 02-13-2017

Good guess, Eva, as LBJ, like JFK, was also said to swim naked in the White House pool.

But, he was not the one who got in trouble in school for smoking.
