With a form like that, I would guess Reagan also. However, Gene got it right - it was Gerald Ford. Let's see if Steve can find that Cosmopolitan cover shot.

This one should be easy: Which President lost the nuclear launch codes and managed to avoid the Pentagon's inspector who came each month until the code was routinely changed in four months? P.S. The missing codes were never found. Scary, isn't it?

Bill Clinton.

Ronald Reagan?

I know there are longstanding rumors that Ronald Reagan may have been suffering from Alzheimer’s while still in office, so I will agree with Michael and say Reagan.


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - L Verge - 03-15-2019 09:53 AM

Again, I think the logical answer would have been Reagan after his health issues. However, once again, Steve is correct (and I think we should ban him from the trivia questions! LOL). It was Mr. Clinton who lost the codes, and every time a Pentagon inspector came to inspect, Billy Boy was in a convenient, private meeting. The codes were never found -- wonder who nabbed them, Hillary or Monica?

Which President had such a gambling problem that he once lost official White House china in a poker game?


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Anita - 04-08-2019 09:25 PM

I know this without looking it up. Harry Truman.


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - L Verge - 04-09-2019 10:54 AM

You might want to look it up because my source lists a different President.


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 04-09-2019 11:57 AM

Then I'll guess Andrew Jackson

Good guess, but this President is of a later generation and had a few other vices.


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - GustD45 - 04-09-2019 12:22 PM

I'll guess Warren Gamaliel (sic) Harding

Good advice. Thanks Laurie. I looked it up. Waren Harding, another poker fanatic.

Absolutely correct, Anita. I'll see you and raise you five... Is that poker talk? OMG, I read Anita's response before Gust's. He got it first, so a #1 salute to him.

This person was the daughter of one of our Presidents. Which President was her father?
