Guess the American President #1

+2

Blurb

This is the first Guess the American President blog. I will pick a random President of the United States. I will pretend to be that president. Commenters have the chance to ask me 10 yes-or-no questions. I will answer them according to the President I play. Users then have the chance to make a final guess as to who the mystery president is.

Full Rules

The president is selected before the blog is published. There will be 10 questions asked total, among all users. Each user is allowed to ask two questions. When asking a question in the comment, make sure to include the hashtag #mysteryquestion somewhere in there. A user can decide to make a final guess as to who the president is. This must be done in a comment and include the hashtag #finalguess. After you make a final guess, you can ask no more questions and make no more final guesses. I will notify you if you are correct.

When asking questions, please try to stick with something commonly known, measurable, and factual, as well as appropriate for all users reading this.

The Last Word

This is a test of a new idea I had. I would love to hear your thoughts and advice for future blogs in this series.

He wasn't a Democrat, though, save for brief period before his presidency. In which case you can call Donald Trump a Democrat as well.

Sorry, but you already posted two Mystery Questions. I cannot answer what you asked. You are welcome to make a Final Guess if you think you have enough information. (That was a strategically good question, though.)
