44 Facts About the U.S. Presidents

(YouTube link)

One fact for each president -you’ve seen these lists before, even here, but these are different facts from  what you’ve heard before. John Green dishes the trivia on all our Commanders-in-Chief in the latest mental_floss video. Who knew John Tyler had 15 kids? Most of us are barely aware that he was a president! You’ll probably learn some things you never knew about other presidents, too.  


To expand on one of the facts: Zachary Taylor never voted before being elected President because he was a professional soldier. He never wanted to be in a position to have voted against his own Commander-in-Chief. At least, this is the explanation that Taylor offered.
