Question 1: For Presidents Day, we’re gazing at the memorial honoring which president?
- Abraham Lincoln
- Thomas Jefferson
- Theodore Roosevelt
Correct Answer: Abraham Lincoln
Fact: The Lincoln Memorial stands in tribute to our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln. Its majestic marble columns and iconic seated statue, overlooking the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall in Washington DC, honor his leadership during the Civil War.
Question 2: Who was the only American president to serve more than two terms?
- Franklin D. Roosevelt
- George Washington
- Ronald Reagan
Correct Answer: Franklin D. Roosevelt
Fact: Before the 22nd Amendment came into effect in 1951, US presidents could run for more than two terms. While most two-time presidents did not seek reelection a third time, Franklin D. Roosevelt made history by becoming the first president to serve not only three but four terms, between 1933 until his death in office in 1945.
Question 3: Which of these presidents did not have a pet while in office?
- Andrew Johnson
- Jimmy Carter
- Barack Obama
Correct Answer: Andrew Johnson
Fact: George Washington famously moved into the President's House with a bevy of horses and hounds. Since then, almost every US president has welcomed one or more pets into the official residences. Only three presidents—James K. Polk, Andrew Johnson, and Donald Trump—did not have any. Martin Van Buren had pet tigers briefly, gifted by the sultan of Oman, but Congress didn't let him keep them.
