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.

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.

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.

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.

He's one of the four presidents to have been assassinated while in office.

What's both interesting and tragic about his death is that he likely would have survived if he had better medical care.

Even though the doctors' care was standard medical practice for the time (germ theory was just beginning to be understood and was essentially unpracticed), they still caused him extensive damage beyond that of the assassin's initial bullet. Their techniques caused severe infection. The pain was excruciating. He did survive for another 11 weeks, but they were 11 horrible weeks.

There are way more Chinese and Roman emperors than there are American presidents though. Memorizing all of them is nearly impossible. There are only 45 Presidents, and this is a site where many people have already memorized 196 countries. While I think there's no need for someone from another country to know every American President, I also think it's a much more reasonable request than expecting someone to know all the Roman or Chinese emperors.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wolf6120

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 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.

He was a very influential president in the country of Paraguay, and is a hero there. He is practically the only reason they exist. Hayes agreed to negotiate a long-held border dispute between Argentina and Paraguay, and the decision gave Paraguay 60 percent of its land. This is the main reason he is viewed as a hero in Paraguay. Hayes was not a bad president by any means either for America

But maybe this quiz is meant to be easier, since it's a badge quiz.

I enjoy taking it to practice, along with the chronological, and the picture quizzes.
