Gerald Ford was the only POTUS to have not been voted in on either the Presidential or Vice Presidential ticket.
Thank you
John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson, Chester A. Arthur
@@MasonHadlProductions All elected VP. Ford replaced Agnew and was not on the ticket during the election.
As a Canadian, I didn't know about Jimmy Carter's role in saving Canada from nuclear disaster in 1952. I didn't even know we had any nuclear stuff! I wonder if any Canadians knew this!
3:16 "Mr. President, you were galloping 20 km over the speed limit, sir. We have to give you a ticket."
Calvin Coolidge: Limited government, fiscal responsibility, and fun with Vaseline
To quote Deadpool in regards of Jimmy Carter did: "You're welcome, Canada!"
Teddy Roosevelt was the first president to ride in a car while in office.
Also the first President to fly in an airplane and dive in a submarine
Damn, Bubba lost the football after the meeting with Monica.......😂😂😂😂😂
My best friend was a comic book collector as is a lot of people. His collection was so large that it had a room of its own. He ended up selling his collection over time and made a killing!!
Teddy Roosevelt is easily my favorite president, how badass he was and had some cool shit about him.
I guess that big stick of his made more of a mark than he ever thought it would.
I find that most presidents are the same: They promise something then go back on their word.
Except trump came through on MANY promises
@@shadowscreamer1 Tell me this: Was any of his promises good for the people?
@@shadowscreamer1Yep. That border wall has worked wonders. Haven't seen a single Muslim in nearly 8 years. Definitely winning.
@@shadowscreamer1name one.
@@CandiceVidito absolutely: his remain in Mexico policy kept illegal crossings and drug and human smuggling and child trafficking to 50 year lows, he reduced our military footprint across the globe and made the UN nations pay their fair share (what they originally agreed upon), no new wars or conflicts started under his watch and putting Americans in more harm’s way, negotiated the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement for better North American trade, we became energy independent for one month for the first time in our history, inflation was only 1.4% on his way out of office, black unemployment was at historic lows, black home ownership at ask time highs…need more examples?
17:06 this savage badass responded to the shot by stating "a bullet can't stop the bull moose" (bull moose was a nickname for teddy.) bro was absolutely epic.
The fact that TR gave that speech _by memory_ adds to his badass cred.
There is nothing crazy about Obama liking comic books. It just makes him more relatable.
Having a custom bath made not something I would consider insane tho but ok
It's not so much that he had a custom bathtub as much as it is why. He wasn't the first big boy to serve, but he's the biggest so far.
The Grover Cleveland fact is actually pretty cool.
Despite being known for union-busting, Reagan was himself the head of a union - the Screen Actors Guild.
To add on to the fact that Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on July 4, 1826, James Monroe died on July 4, 1831, exactly 5 years later
Obamas tan suit press comference should be #1.... 😂
Hahahahahahaha I had no idea this was a thing. A tan suit... no wonder your country is so divided. 😂
LOL! Or the histrionics because he used fancy mustard one time.
10:50 that's rather understandable, losing a child is never easy
Barack Obama Loves Comic Books.
Thanks WatchMojo!
Ooh! Ooh! Do “Every U.S. President: Best and Worst Political Thing They Ever Did While in Office.”
Ohh that will surely spark some serious fights in the comments.
I second this idea.
And now we can add Trump for being the first convict. Way to go!
What happened
@@paulcowlishawguilty on all 34 counts
I learned about Andrew Jackson’s duel from _Killing Crazy Horse: The Merciless Indian Wars in America,_ book nine in Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard’s _Killing_ series.
I wish President Obama was still our president.
After his Presidency, William Howard Taft went on to be Chief Justice of The Supreme Court.
The only man to lead two branches of the federal government. And didn't JQA go on to serve in the US House of Representatives?
Hahahaha I knew this would also be about the today convicted orange man. Well played @watchmojo, well played.
Wow! Little Bush was in drag as head cheerleader?

Another presidential fun fact: Jimmy Carter was the first president to be born a in a hospital, his mother worked as a nurse at the Wise Sanatorium in Plains, Georgia.
Also, Ulysses Grant could not stand the sight of blood to point his steak cook to a charred because of it.

I don't think JQ Adams actually believed in Hollow Earth, his intention to send an expedition to the pole was probably to debunk the theory.

John Adams And Thomas Jefferson Passed Away On The Same Day. The Fourth Of July. So Sad.
It's a remarkable and somewhat poignant coincidence, isn't it? Their passing on the same day, especially on the Fourth of July, adds another layer to their intertwined legacies in American history.
@@WatchMojoIndeed! Thanks WatchMojo!
Let it be known that Jefferson died first and Adams several hours later. Jefferson was 83 years old and Adams was 90 years old

How is number 6 not numbers 34-1?
History can sometimes be fascinating, rather than dull. We all know someone, like some of these Presidents of the US, I'm sure.
Obama does dad jokes. 😁❤️
Every President has their own vision for a perfect America
The notion that Abraham Lincoln wanted to free slaves is such a joke… it became economically unviable and he ended it lol
Even the ratification of 13A didn't abolish slavery entirely.
What about boden haveing dementia
How many Presidents were not natural-born citizens? It is a Constitutional mandate, by the way. But, most citizens have no idea what the definition of that term is.

What a bunch of cool facts about the President of the United states
Ikr.
#6 should've been #1.
I'm glad he was pleaded guilty, but why is he still not arrested?
He is still out in bond, and posted bail pending sentencing since his initial conviction. Also this wasn't a violent crime, so he isn't immediately arrested either. But we will find out at his sentencing on July 11th
@@Jedda678 My parents who watch the news will look forward to it.
Arrested for what crime exactly?
FJB! TRUMP 2024!
@@benolomu9769 There's countless amount of his crimes that you should look up on Google.
WatchMojo Thomas Jefferson did not win the presidential election in 1800, John Adams did . Thats why he’s 2nd president and Jefferson is the 3rd
Please don't just be a trend that bad presidents are common and that we should be okay with it ok

I genuinely did not know Obama is a fellow nerd... God I miss him. LMAO
How many of these are about slavery?
Warren Harding played tons of musical instruments. He claimed that he could play every instrument with the exception of the slide trombone and the e flat coronet. That being said, I am still upset upon learning that he was a womanizer.
The title says "INSANE" but you put up President Trumps Thumb instead of Obidens.
Y'all made this list just to bring up Drumpf's conviction. It's petty AF and I absolutely LOVE IT! 🤣😂
Calvin Coolidge. Silent Cal Himself Likes Vaseline.
Pat sajak for president
Hello good afternoon 😮😮😮😮
Trump is not the only president with no previous political experience. William Henry Harrison, Ulysses S. Grant, Zachary Taylor, and Dwight Eisenhower had never help political office before becoming president.
that doesn't mean they didn't have more political knowledge.
And yet none of them fucked up as much as he did
@@lucariothegodboi Not the point.
@@NCDowns Not the point. The video said Trump was the only president with now previous political experience which is incorrect.
@@vincentsaia6545 well it's the point I'm making
I'm just happy that ex-president Trump is in prison, or going into prison. I just hope that he stays in forever! And take your people with you!

Technically only 45 presidencies.
Wrong. Drumpf lost the second time around. Deal with it.
@ElroyMcDuff what the hell are you talking about? If you are going try and correct someone, have your facts.. President Cleveland served as the 22nd and 24th president.... that means there have been 45 presidents.... you're an idiot... deal with it.
@ElroyMcDuff how am I wrong? Please explain your idiotic ill informed, incorrect, reply to my comment?
@ElroyMcDuff what the hell are you talking about? If you are going to try and call someone out, have your facts straight vs spouting off ill inform, incorrect, idiotic responses. In other words, if you weren't an idiot (deal with it), you would know that president Cleveland was the 22nd and 24th president which means.. there have been 45 people who have been presidents.

Trump ever having been elected at all is insane.
He literally had NO POLITICAL, MILITARY EXPERIENCE.
Same with Biden 😂😂😂

I hope we have more interesting presidents in the future and not terrible ones like trump.
Hey WatchMojo, Theodore Roosevelt hated being called Teddy. This is a fact that not many people seem to know about Theodore Roosevelt, how he hated the nickname Teddy. I know he's dead, but remember this: Just because somebody's dead does NOT mean that you can't do anything that will bug them. Abraham Lincoln, my number one favorite U. S. President, did not like being called Abe, but he didn't hate being called Abe as much as Theodore Roosevelt hated being called Teddy.
Roosevelt could have shouted 'KOBE!' after finishing a speech with a fresh bullet in his chest. Mamba mentality focus
True, Theodore Roosevelt prefer to be called TR
@@Barricade379 I've been told that he preferred to be called that too.
The fact that Nixon wasn't even convicted, but Trump was is crazy. Just goes to show how much of a monster 45 is
Nah times were much different then they are now. Both political parties will do what ever it takes to get into power. They all make fake promises.
Have there been any other Presidents of Wackyland who wanted to rip up the Constitution and become Dictator or King?
Oh,I love hearing the guilty verdicts yesterday.
I felt like a kid on Christmas Day.
Of course a liberal would say that. Trump will win in November
That same day FJB just announced US weapons to be used in Ukraine
Are you happy about that too?
We are that much closer to WW3 or if not then just prolonging the Russo-Ukrane war.
@@user-zp3ko6dz3s Nice user name there comrade. US weapons have been used there for quite a while. Try to keep up.
@@ElroyMcDuff Thank you for the compliment. well anyone could just lookup what FJB did that day. maybe the US weapons were manly self-defence but now Ukraine is on offense.
@@user-zp3ko6dz3s Manly? Oh boy is spelling your greatest enemy of all time

I cant believe trump was found guilty, i was literally hoping he would be the one to become oresident and remake america as it used to be, now hes in jail and america may just be doomed.
If he was in jail, than USA would be saved. Trump was being a tyrant, and he doesn't care about anything. He likes to be a ruthless leader and a sadist, and he doesn't care about Ukraine, because Putin is one of his buddies. Don't you care about Ukraine?
Don't worry. He'll be out of jail soon before you even know it. Trust me.
Trump wanted to build walls
Now he'll be stuck between walls
Nope. He'll be back within the White House walls in January 2025 and you will lose your mind.
