I'll guess Truman only because of the glasses.
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?

Roger,

I think I saw that picture on CBS's Sunday Morning broadcast. They had a piece on him that I watched on YouTube.

No,sorry, Anita.

When I this said that this person's grandfather was no friend of Washington. ... well, initially Washington was a supporter of that grandfather.

Is it John Quincy Adams? I know it's been said he was one of the most physically fit Presidents and a mental giant as well. That's powerful.

No, sorry Anita.
If the circumstances had been different this person would have had some of the responsibilities of Presidents Van Bulen and President McKinley. ... and all presidents between the two.

Queen Victoria, who reigned from 1837 when Martin Van Buren took office and died in 1901 when William McKinley was assassinated, and who was George III's granddaughter.
