Another Presidential Trivia Quiz. Are you thrilled? Again, there'll be some space after the questions so you're not required to look at the answers until you want to.
1. Who was the only president who was never elected as President or Vice President?
2. Prior to Barry Goldwater's loss to Lyndon Johnson in 1964, who lost by the biggest margin in a presidential election?
3. OK, this isn't presidential, but what was the name of the church in Atlanta from which Martin Luther King Jr (and Sr.) preached?
4. Who was former Vice President Al Gore's father?
5. Who was the only president to serve non-consecutive terms?
Answers
1. Gerald Ford. He was appointed by Nixon as Vice President and approved by the Senate, after Agnew's resignation. He became president, of course, when Nixon resigned.
2. Alf Landon lost to FDR when the latter won his 2nd term. Landon was governor of Kansas. His daughter Nancy Landon Kassebaum later represented their state in the U.S. Senate
3. Ebenezer Baptist Church
4. No points if you said "Mr. Gore." However if you remember that the ex-VP's full name is Albert Gore Jr., part of the answer becomes simple. His father was - naturally Albert Gore Sr., but additionally, he was a Senator from Tennessee, long before his son was.
5. Many of you knew this. It's Grover Cleveland. He was one of a handful of men who have been their party's nominee three times. The first time he ran, he beat Benjamin Harrison. The second time, he lost to Harrison. He then came back and beat Harrison. Harrison also ran three times as did Nixon.
