	Congressman should count for Representative.

	Cleveland has the most ironic one

	John Adams was a lawyer, so was Jefferson, Monroe, Madison and several others. If you mean immediately preceding the presidency, you should indicate that.

	I think he means the highest title received before becoming President. Lincoln is an example to use here. He hadn't been in Congress for over a decade when he was elected President.

Comment below threshold: show it

	mucci, grow up. This is not the 50s. If you can't accept the fact we have a black president (half black, actually), then leave. If you don't agree with his policies, that is perfectly fine, but leave the racism at the door. Not everybody looks like you, get used to it.

	Franklin Pierce should really be senator, not general. No office really fits him that well, but senator seems to be more appropriate for him.

	If McKinley was a governor... then who sponsored the McKinley Tarriff?

	Description changed to most prominent title, still a bit subjective but should be more clear. I have made it so gov/vp will work now. For Pierce, while he was a senator, he was a general after that and right before becoming president which is why I have left him as a general. The McKinely tariff was sponsored by him while he was a representative to congress, but he was a governor after that and I view that as being more prominent.

	All the other generals on the list were important generals though. Other than Taylor, they all led the entire US Army at some point. Pierce was just kind of... there. He stumbled into a brief period as a brigadier general. His White House biography dedicates about half a sentence to his entire military career. I'd say that senator is a more prominent title than 1-star general, anyway.
