• Jimmy Carter was the first president born in a hospital
• Gerald Ford (born Leslie King) was the only president who was adopted
• Harry Truman did not have a college degree
• The name Bush or Dole was on every ballot from 1976 to 2004
• From 1840 to 1980, a tragedy happened every 20 years to a president that was elected for his first term in a year ending with zero:
