Here are some "uncommon" presidential facts (though I am sure they are common to ObiWan). Some you may know...some you might not.
Let the Presidential Trivia Commence!
Virginia/North Carolina border.
Though his wife Martha had four children by a previous marriage, George Washington left no direct descendant. He never sired a child to continue his family line.
President William H. Taft was once offered a contract to pitch for the Cincinnati Reds.
John Adams was central to the Revolution and to the creation of the Declaration of Independence and the government under the Constitution.
President William Howard Taft was a seventh cousin twice removed of Richard M. Nixon, and was a distant relative of Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Three U.S. presidents have been the sons of clergymen: Chester Arthur, Grover Cleveland, and Woodrow Wilson.
Three Whigs have served as president of the United States: William Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor, and Millard Fillmore.
President William McKinley always wore a red carnation in his lapel for good luck.
Two towns in Vermont claim to be President Chester A. Arthur's birthplace, but recent research supports his opponents' charges that he was born in Canada, and therefore, was not eligible to be president under the U.S. Constitution.
President William McKinley had a pet parrot that he named Washington Post.
