Pete is not correct if name is Peter etc. Names must be correct . For example first FDR must be exact. No more, no less , no difference. FDR HST DDE JFK LBJ RMN GRF JEC RWR GHWB WJC GWB BO DJT JRB |

Here is a question for you history nuts.
George Washington served two full terms as president and then his vice president was elected president. Who were the two other presidents to achieve this? |

BO has a middle name.
If you are going to be a stickler, HST there is a big controversy about his middle name which reared its head when they did a postage stamp in his honor. jRB has something after the B, do you want that too??

Truman became president after FDR died, but FDR served 3+ terms and Truman was elected on his own in 1948 Nixon served 2 terms under Ike, but wasn't elected until 8 years later Our current POTUS was elected 4 years after BHO had served his 2 terms. So the obvious answer to the newly reworded question is: John Adams (Washington) Martin Van Buren (Jackson) George H.W. Bush (Reagan) |

Another question for you history buffs. Who was the first president of our country ?
Careful - The declaration of independence was signed in 1776 but GW did not hold office until 1789. |

Quote:
He only has the letter, so does it get a period or not? From the Harry S. Truman museum [which uses the period although I think Harry would not] "Since the S did not stand for a name, Harry didn’t use a period after it for most of his life. Soon after he was elected president, the editors of the Chicago Style Manual informed Truman that omitting a period after his middle initial was improper grammar and a bad example for America’s youth. From that moment on, the 33rd President signed his name Harry S. Truman or put all the letters in his name together as in HarrySTruman." I'll add that there are examples from before his presidency where he did use a period and where he did not.

That leaves out FDR, DDE, and BHO. But RWR is one I was thinking of. There is one more. |
