Ten Most Interesting Presidential Facts

In lieu of election day, No Mustard Only has dug up some interesting factoids about previous presidents.  Here are the ten true facts we thought were the most interesting:

10) No president has been an only child.
9) Ronald Reagan was ambidextrous.
8) William Henry Harrison basically did absolutely nothing as the president.  He gave one really long speech, and then died.
7) George Washington is the only president who was never in a party.  George W. Bush is the only president who thought he was always at a party.
6) Everyone knows JFK cheated on Jackie-O with Marilyn Monroe, but no one remembers that Marilyn Monroe cheated on JFK with Joe DiMaggio first.
5) Andrew Johnson was impeached because he kept accidentally referring to the United States as "Canada" in his public addresses.
4) Grover Cleveland's high school classmates voted his the "best mustache" in the class of 1855.
3) During his campaign for president in 1984, Walter Mondale's campaign song was "Love Stinks" by Aerosmith or whatever.
2) Richard Nixon admitted to voting for George McGovern in 1972 because he claims that he foresaw the whole Watergate thing coming.
1) Warren G. Harding was the first president elected after the women's suffrage movement gave women the right to vote, but Bill Clinton is the first president elected when women's votes actually counted.
What has two thumbs...?
