Blurb

Welcome back, everybody. In this Guess the American President blog, a new president has been chosen. Users get a chance to ask questions about the president and make a guess as to who our newest Mystery President is!

Full Rules

The president is selected before the blog is published. 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 your best to stick with something commonly known, measurable, and factual, as well as appropriate for all users reading this.

#mystery question

1-were they born in a landlocked state

2-were they born between 1800 and 1899

(by landlocked i mean not bordering the main Pacific and Atlantic so I would count Illinois as landlocked for example)

1-Yes, they were born in a landlocked state. By this definition, their state did not border the Pacific, Atlantic, or Gulf of Mexico. It hypothetically could, however, have bordered one or more Great Lakes

2-Yes, they were born between 1800 and 1899.

Good guess, but he served less than a single full term, and while he did win the electoral college, he never lost the popular vote.

Shoot, at some point I think I forgot whether I was marking off people that won the popular vote or lost it.
