Question #1. Who is the first speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives? #2. Who was Millard Fillmore's Vice President? #3. Who was Benjamin Harrison's Vice-Presidential Running Mate in 1892?

Tony, Too early in the morning to think here's my guess

1-No idea

2-Zachary Taylor

3-Whitelaw

Eol I will give you number 3 because you have Whitelaw Reid's first name. Still waiting for someone else to come up with the answers for the other two questions.

2. He didn't have Vice President?

I'm with Sapper on #2, he didn't have one because he lost the election. When he was the 13th(?) president he wasn't elected then either so no VP

I will give it to Sapper for #2.

Let's try this again. Question #1. Who was President Ford's Vice President? Question #2. There was one man who was president between President Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore. Zachary Taylor died on a saturday and Millard Fillmore was inaugurated on Monday. Who was the one man who was president for one day but because he had a full and busy day Saturday he slept through all of Sunday. Who is this man? Question#3. Who did Sam Houston defeat at Gilead for the independence of Texas?

ghey tony try some easier questions or heres one for you what was the name of the Minotaur?

Minotaur, If i remember correctly is a horse with a man's head and torso. As for the name it eludes me. :)

Here's some easier question's. But still looking for someone who can answer the previous ones too. Question #1. Who sang "Sugar Walls"? Question #2. Name the famous disco in New York City that was popular during the disco age. Question #3. Who invented the wireless radio?

# 1 Eludes me
#2 Studio 21
#3 Nikola Tesla

and the name of the minotaur was Asterios

I thought that was a centaur? (sp?)

Sugar Walls was sung by Sheena Easton yike:


The Minotaur had the body of a man with the head of a bull.
Kelly is right about the Centaur,horse with a man's torso and head.The Zodiac sign Sagittarius.

Heep gets #1. Sorry about the minotaur/centaur mixup. :o Apparently i messed up there. thanks for clearing that up Heep!!! w:

Fords vice president was Nelson Rockefeller. Wasn't the legendary disco Studio 54?

:lol: Anytime Tony,just remember to ask questions that only I know ;) :lol:

More Questions. Question #1. Who was George H.W. Bush's Vice-President? Question#2. Who preceded Newt Gingrich as Speaker of the House? Question #3. Who was the second man to walk on the moon?

DOH! I should have known that one :blink:

1. Dan Quayle
2. Tip O'Neil
3. Buzz Aldrin

Andy you get #1 and 3 of the third set of questions and #2 of the second set of questions.

2. Thomas Foley

Congratulations Andy! you have #2 of the third set of questions. beer:

did i get any right? :blink:

Sorry Rudi! w:

just no love for me :P :P

I'll have some more questions soon. :)

Sorry Tony I just read these. #3 Should have been, if I'm not mistaken, asked in a different way. There was a battle at "Goliad" fought but it was Sam Houston defeating Santa Anna at San Jacinto that won Texas their independence.


If I remember correctly The Battle at Goliad was were the Mexican troops slaughtered the Texans.

Let me know what your history book says!!!! Your Friendly neighborhood Texan co:

I have a few questions to add:

1. Who was the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court?

2. Who was the first woman appointed to the Supreme Court? (This should be an easy question).

3. Related to the second question, what state was she from?

4. Name the lawyer who argued for Brown in the Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education and then later became a Supreme Court justice.



Linda :lol:

1- John Jay
2- Sandra Day O'Conner
3-Arizona
4-Thurgood Marshall


How did I do?

You get an A++++++. Great job!!

Linda

beer: beer: beer:

I should have checked. Was going on memory. ooops. Sorry about that Julie. w:

No problem, just making sure David really passed History at UT!!! :)

Interestingly, when Ford was president and Rockefeller was vp (going back a few posts), it was the only time in our nation's history when we had BOTH a pres. and vice pres. that had NOT been elected by the citizens. I was in my mid-20s at the time and remember it pretty well ...

I remember it well too okie and i was 12 in 1975. w:

AND ... during the few weeks that Nixon was president without a VP, and later, the few weeks that Ford was president without a VP ... in both of those instances the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives was Carl Albert of Oklahoma. During those periods he was "a heartbeat away from the presidency" and that was the closest an Okiehoman has ever come to being President of the U.S. Our Senator Kerr probably came the second closest, back in the 1950s.

History is about to happrn this year when a woman or black man gets elected to the White House. The odds are against McCain being elected. So disappointed in the Republican White House and the odds against McCain.

Tony I'm not sure I think either Obama or Clinton will win. Reason being they are really against each other that it might split the democratic vote and give votes to McCain.

I agree that he probably isn't the best choice but think back to Woodrow Wilson being elected because Teddy Roosevelt and William Howard Taft split the republican vote. Either one by themselvs would PROBABLY beat Wilson but since TR got ticked and left the Republican convention to form the Progressive (Bull Moose Party) that split the vote.

I think if John Edwards would have come out on day one and said he was running or said he would run during the last 4 years then he would have won.

Bush was so unpopular a year ago the Democrats could have ran a trashcan and won if they could have come up with a party candidate. But Edwards waited to declare his candidacy helped create the support for Obama and Clinton and he lost out.

I think I would rather see Obama win it over Clinton. I'm not against a female president but I think she would set women's rights back several years. She does not have a good reputation and that is going to hurt her in the long run.

That's a good argument Coach but I am following Allan Lichtmann's 13 Keys test. Look it up and you will see I am looking at. w:
