Here's a relevant quote: 'People happy with the results argue the system is working fine -- of course they do. Their team won. But government isn't a sport where a singular "winner" must be determined. It's a system to make rules that everyone follows and so, we need a system where everyone can agree the process is fair even if the results don't go in their favour. If you support a system that disenfranchises people you don't like and turbo-franchises people you do - then it doesn't look like you support representative democracy, it looks like you support a kind of dictatorship lite.' That's CGP Grey. If you're upset with how the election turned out, *tough luck*. There's a set of rules for how an election works and, no matter how stupid the rules are, Trump used them to garner a majority of electoral college. Logically, he is the president. He isn't a good president? Well, neither were any of the others, according to (about) half of all people. At least in most cases. Deal with it.

I think it's a bit unfair to ask for 100% on this quiz for the history badge, makes it very US-centric and implies that all these presidents are super-important to world history, whereas for the other quizzes you don't ask 100%

This US president quiz is already included in three badges (US, history and welcome). It should belong only to the first one. But if you need to include it in the history badge, asking 100% is ridiculous and completely unfair to non-USA quizzers.

Those states don't even account for 30% of the total population of the country. That's significantly less than a majority, even if every single person in those states held exactly the same political beliefs.

JGElias

Level 52

May 23, 2020

The smaller the state the more representation they have per capita. Each state gets 2 guaranteed seats in the electoral college no matter the size. Those 2 seats become more valuable when the population is smaller - so the smaller the state the more representation they get.

Bigger states are under-represented.

ironhawk

Level 22

Jan 12, 2018

For all of you guys ranting on about the electoral college and how the election should be decided on the popular vote, there's a reason we have the electoral college. This reason is so other states with lower populations (ex: Wyoming, the Dakotas, Montana) can have a say in the voting. Our government is a republic, so everyone has a say. If the elections were decided on the popular vote, the election would be decided only in the states with a large population such as California, New York, Texas, and Florida. So that would basically ruin the point of our government and start a tyranny.

+26

Level 81

Mar 1, 2018

Every ONE has a say? That doesn't make any sense when the ONEs from Wyoming have 3.6x the voting power as the ONEs from California. We've moved past the idea that the United States is a collection of states with competing interests. We're all one country. The only reason Republicans want to disenfranchise people so much or reduce their voting power is because they know that they can't possibly win if the will of the people was accurately represented. They NEED things like gerrymandering, illegal voter purging and voter registration restrictions, and the electoral college to hold on to power. If you're worried about tyranny look to those who represent a minority and are imposing their will on the majority, not the majority who have no power.

Level 81

Sep 21, 2020

I could get behind the 6-week-long election season Australia has or whatever it is, I could have the time period wrong. Trump started his campaign to get reelected like the day after being sworn in, and most candidates for president in the USA start trying to generate buzz at least 3 or 4 years before the election and then start openly campaigning at least a year before. It's exhausting, even though you do have longer to vet and get to know everyone that is running.

Minus Polk the run of 8 presidents before Lincoln are also not well known amongst Americans. They were all forgettable. Most of them exercised little power (Congress was really in control of the country at the time). A few of them died a short while in to their terms in office. One was not even elected. And all are ranked among the worst presidents in US history, though Trump has got them beat in that category according to the latest polls.

Level 81

Yes, we have our ups and downs and we are not perfect and we only make up 5 percent of the World's population; yet We are the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. All 45 men deserve our respect for the office and all 45 served.

Thanks to all of Our Presidents.

Level 81

Jun 14, 2019

While it's true only 44 men have served as president, often people get confused because the current president is usually listed as the 45th. That's because Garfield, who served two non-consecutive terms, is listed as both POTUS # 22 and POTUS #24.

For the Roosevelts it will be people writing "FDR".

And for the Harrisons, it's probably because the misspelling "Harison" works for William but not Benjamin.

Everyone talks about the Electoral College (rightly so), but what about the fact that elections take place on a working day, and that voting is a complicated hassle compared to other countries? Average Joe thinks twice before going to vote. And if he does, he's drawn in by a hype around a charismatic, larger-than-life candidate. This was the case with Obama, and now with Trump.

Republicans seem to oppose anything that makes voting easier, though in this case I'm not sure if it really advantages them or not as more and more working class voters vote Republican. It would make a lot of sense to make it a national holiday.

Everyone I know agrees with you. Election Day should be a holiday. It's the government, not the people, keeping that from happening.

Here's one way to remember, think of one important aspect of the president. For example, Taylor died because he ate too many cherries. Taft had to have a special bathtub built for him because he was just too fat. Presidents Fillmore, Buchanan, and Pierce refused the offer to celebrate Thanksgiving.

Hmmm, if you include Jimmy Carter, the USA has had 6 presidents with a first name of James.

Scotland had 6 King James, England only 2 (James the 1st being James VI of Scotland). Neither nation recognises the legitimacy of King LeBron James, although oddly the USA, on paper a monarchy-free republic, does.

This is completely random but I was trying to go through this quiz using both first and last names, and I noticed that donald j trump wasn't accepted, could you change that?

Level 67

Nov 5, 2020

It seems like presidents' middle initials and middle names are accepted rather inconsistently. Richard M. Nixon is not accepted, but Dwight D. Eisenhower is. William Jefferson Clinton is accepted, but Barack Hussein Obama is not. It seems to me like the best fix is "don't make more work for yourself by entering unnecessary initials" but I can also see an argument that the quiz should be consistent on this.

Level 81

Nov 6, 2020

Save time for both yourself and the quiz authors and just type in last names.

Level 67

Nov 15, 2020

I mean, if you want to do the two Harrisons, the two Johnsons, the two Adamses, and the two Bushes separately then fine, add first names and middle initials where necessary. But I agree, putting unnecessary middle initials is pointless. It is a bit weird how inconsistent the type-ins are with middle names, but it doesn't bother me really.

Wasn't Theodore Roosevelt an Independent his second term?

Level 67

Nov 15, 2020

Not during his 2nd term. He left office after 2 terms, then decided he didn't like the job Taft was doing and sought a 3rd term. He failed to get the Republican nomination so he ran third party and ended up splitting the vote, thus leading to Wilson winning the election.

If the Cabinet invokes the 25th, will Pence be 46 and Biden 47? Asking for America.

Wolf6120

Level 55

Jan 8, 2021

It's not looking like they will, but if they did; No, technically he wouldn't. Invoking the 25th doesn't actually remove the President from office. The Vice President becomes "Acting President" and all the President's powers are transferred over, but the sitting President remains the sitting President until their term ends or the 25th is revoked.

You're right, but the 25th actually has more detailed complications to it than that. CGP grey made a nice video about it here (https://youtu.be/boezS4C_MFc)

IIRC it depends on the time left. At that point Pence would've been just acting president, with more time a full president.

Ponderosa

Level 79

Jan 20, 2021

You don't recall correctly. If Trump had been impeached and removed from office, Pence would have been the President. If they'd just invoked the 25th, he would only have been acting President.

Sadly, Inauguration Day has arrived, so Tippecanoe's old record will stand.

Joe Biden is considered the 46th President. Since Grover Cleveland's two terms were not served consecutively, there are numbered independently.
