Didn't Fred already mention that? Wilson, right? He had a stroke and didn't really do anything for the last few months, but was still President the whole time.
My question on the Presidents term was a trivia to say the least..Answer
Only one President served two full terms and yet served 57 days short of eight years.
Why? George Washington, because he was inaugurated on April 30, instead of March 4, which was customary after that.

Reason: correct word to trivia, not oddity
A bridge built in 1927 which is now over 80 yrs old connects Buffalo N.Y. to Fort Erie Ont. was named the "Peace Bridge" due to over 100 yrs of Peace between the two countries. As a little boy living on the Canadian side, my parents and I would take the car ferry across to Buffalo and then return on the bridge. I'm talking the 30's. Always enjoyed the trip. Steve
Here's a question: prior to the Revolutionary War, why were there 13 colonies and not 14? (Not only trivia, but very obscure trivia!)
