	Grant was never Secretary of War. Like Eisenhower, he held no previous elected office.

	Thanks. Got it from a "Fact Sheet" that came to our school that referenced whitehouse.gov as a source. But you're right, Grant was never Secretary of War. Fixed it and I appreciate the catch.

	Nice quiz, but first- how does one define the 'rankings' of positions? Second, it would be nice for positions with multiple Presidents to show the others when you get one correctly.

	That's a great question about rank...here's what I did: Federal positions were higher than state positions. Cabinet positions were higher than legislative positions. Senate was higher than congressional spots. As for showing all the guys, I want to do that, but I am still learning...as soon as I figure it out, it'll be there.

	William Henry Harrison was a Senator from Ohio, not Virginia. I had to think "Who was a Senator from Virginia?" I thought of Tyler. But he had been VP.(I am glad you left those out, BTW)

	also, Benjamin Harrison was a Senator from Indiana, not Ohio.

	I will fix them both...thanks. (the William Henry Harrison mistake was a mistake because he was born in Virgina but served in Ohio...the Benjamin Harrison mistake was a total blown call by me)
