Fun Facts About United States Presidents

1. John Quincy Adams loved to skinny dip in the Potomac River.

Yes, you read that right! Every morning, the sixth U.S. president would rise before dawn and take a naked swim in the Potomac River. It was part of his daily fitness routine, and he believed it sharpened his mind. One daring female journalist even snagged an exclusive interview with him by sitting on his clothes and refusing to leave until he agreed to talk!

2. Teddy Roosevelt was shot in the chest-and still gave a 90-minute speech.

During a campaign stop in 1912, Roosevelt was shot by a would-be assassin. Incredibly, he didn’t go straight to the hospital. Instead, he coughed into his hand to check for blood, declared the bullet hadn’t hit a lung, and proceeded to give his speech-complete with bloodstained notes and all. Talk about tough as nails!

3. James Madison was the smallest president ever-but he had giant ideas.

Standing just 5’4″ and weighing around 100 pounds, Madison was smaller than many high school freshmen. But don’t let his size fool you-this guy helped draft the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. His ideas shaped the very core of American democracy. Proof that brainpower beats brawn any day!

4. Herbert Hoover spoke Mandarin Chinese fluently.

Long before becoming president, Hoover and his wife Lou lived in China for several years. They became so fluent in Mandarin that they would use it to speak privately in the White House-especially when they didn’t want the staff or guests to understand. That makes him the only president to speak an Asian language fluently. It’s a neat little trivia nugget that adds depth to his otherwise somber reputation.

5. A beaver bite gave Calvin Coolidge a pet raccoon.

Coolidge’s presidency had its fair share of oddities, but none quite as strange as his pet raccoon, Rebecca. Originally sent to the White House to be served as Thanksgiving dinner (yes, really), the Coolidges adopted her instead. She wore a leash, had her own treehouse, and even appeared at public events. That’s got to be the most “wild” pet in presidential history.

6. Franklin D. Roosevelt served for four terms-breaking the mold.

FDR was elected president four times, the only person in U.S. history to do so. He led the country through the Great Depression and World War II, bringing a sense of steady leadership in uncertain times. His long tenure eventually led to the 22nd Amendment, which now limits presidents to two terms. So, in a way, his legacy changed the presidency forever.

7. Abraham Lincoln was a licensed bartender.

Before abolishing slavery and delivering the Gettysburg Address, Lincoln co-owned a tavern in Illinois. Known as Berry and Lincoln, the establishment served everything from apple brandy to corn whiskey. Honest Abe wasn’t the best businessman, though-the tavern failed, but it left him with people skills that served him well in politics. Not your average presidential resume, right?

8. Thomas Jefferson invented the swivel chair-and used it to draft the Declaration of Independence.

Yes, the man responsible for writing America’s founding document also gave us the comfy office chair. Jefferson designed the first swivel chair using parts from existing furniture, and he reportedly sat in it while penning the Declaration. He was an inventor at heart, always tinkering with gadgets and layouts. Just imagine brainstorming a nation… while spinning in circles.

9. Barack Obama collects comic books and has read every Harry Potter novel.

Not only was he the first African American president, but Obama also brought a cool factor to the Oval Office. He’s a die-hard Spider-Man and Conan the Barbarian fan, and he even gave a shoutout to the X-Men in a speech. He also made time during his presidency to finish the Harry Potter series, showing he’s a reader at heart. Politics aside-he’s basically the Commander-in-Chief of Nerd Culture.

10. George Washington never chopped down a cherry tree-but he did have wooden teeth. Kind of.

That old legend about the cherry tree? Pure myth. But the wooden teeth? Closer to the truth. Washington’s dentures were actually made from a mix of human teeth, cow teeth, and ivory-but they looked wooden due to staining. No wonder he never smiled in his portraits!
