	It took me a while to find enough facts, but I think this is a truly great quiz; I'd really love to see it featured someday, as I feel it's some of my best work. Enjoy, everyone.

	For God's sake, cdrogers, learn a little American history. Ford was the Minority Leader in the house but was never the Speaker; he became president by being appointed to the vice-presidency by Nixon, who then resigned.

	...anyway, more to the point, this is a really nice quiz. The facts really are interesting (and, insofar as I got most of them and actually recognized as true the ones I didn't get, accurate). Oh, though be warned about the "30 years" question that Hoover won't be the only one if, a year and a half from now, Carter is still alive (which doesn't seem unlikely).

	Thanks for the kind words, gents. And thanks, Tahnan, I'll keep that in mind.

Great quiz!

	Great job. I would like to see you expand it to include something unique about each of the presidents. Eisenhower - only 5-star general for example.

	awesome quiz and yeah carter is approaching that 30 years post presidency fast

	Excellent quiz. Well researched. Good mix of presidents.

	Nice job, Kicking! I had know idea any president spoke English as Second Language. Was his primary German?

NCBerge: good point. However, I think if I were outside the U.S. I'd avoid taking this quiz. Kind of like how I avoid the deluge of soccer quizzes. I know I've got no chance on these :)

	Kicking: I'm Canadian & I loved this quiz. If you're looking for more clues, how about: Won national & senate election on the same day (LBJ). Survived a hit from an assassin's bullet - Reagan. Legally changed his first & last name - Ford. Wore a Nazi uniform - Reagan (as an actor of course). Your format allows the same President more than once.

	Teddy Roosevelt is the only president to be awarded the Medal of Honor, the highest military honor (although posthumously), for his actions in the Spanish-American War in Cuba.

	@disarm: It is clearly sarcasm, seeing as the Rush Limbaugh bunch say he was born in Kenya, and thus cannot be President. The wink makes it pretty obvious.

	One of the best quizzes I've seen here in weeks. Good job.

	So who is the only US President to see combat in Viet Nam? Remarkably, none have. Two people (Kerry & McCain) came close to the presidency.

	Thanks for the kind words, everybody. I worked hard on it, and I think it exemplifies some of my best efforts. And bsd987, while that is technically true, I don't technically care. :) Seriously, that is a good point that I've never thought of, but I will choose to completely ignore it.

	John Quincy Adams was the only president to serve in the House of Representatives after his presidency, which I personally think is more interesting and relevant than having a foreign first lady. Otherwise, brilliant quiz, can't wait to see it featured.

	@ginger-Get over it and stop acting like stubborn 5 year old. Anyone who still thinks obama wasnt born in US needs to get their heads out their asses

	@g_status Wikipedia says he was born in virginia, while still a colony. Anyway great idea for a quiz, learned some interesting facts about the presidents.
