American grizzly bear is a symbol of the
American character strength intelligence
ferocity the following unexpected truths
would have even Uncle Sam eating his hat
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
surprising facts about US presidents
things that a president can never lose
never ever the card with the nuclear
codes on it for this list we rounded up
the most surprising lesser known fact
about America’s commanders-in-chief
throughout the decades and as always
only one entry per president I hear
there’s rumors on the Internet’s and one
of the things that I’ve used on the
Google is to pull up maps I have filters
on internets number 10 Theodore
Roosevelt was America’s first brown belt
in judo someone called my name Theodore
Roosevelt cheer service we start with
probably the single most surprising
president of them all Theodore Roosevelt
a war a lock of Abraham Lincoln’s hair
mounted into a ring at his inauguration
be is the inspiration behind the teddy
bear and see was the first American to
win the Nobel Peace Prize the last of
that list is more than a little ironic
considering what we’ve chosen as our top
Teddy fact Roosevelt was also the
first-ever American brown belt in judo
we’re betting those skills came in handy
with some world leaders number nine
Grover Cleveland served as an
executioner before he became president
big deal when I was a pup we got spanked
by presidents till the cows came home
Grover Cleveland spanked me on two
non-consecutive occasions the only
president in American history to serve
two non-consecutive terms Grover
Cleveland started out his prestigious
political career as sheriff of Erie
County during his time in the role
Cleveland also held responsibilities as
public executioner it fell within his
duties to either perform executions
himself or else pay a deputy to do so
who passes the sentence should swing the
sword cleveland opted for the latter on
two occasions and personally executed
two convicted murderers by hanging
patrick Morrissey and John Gaffney
number eight
Bill Clinton lost the codes to enable
nuclear warhead activation we know that
the people in the White House are people
like us miss placing things but the
nuclear code when you’re president you
have to remember lots of important
things never wear an unprecendented
agent codes Bill Clinton was brilliant
at the first two but not so good at the
third the football is a briefcase kept
close to the president from which a
nuclear attack can be launched at any
time the biskits is a small card bearing
top-secret codes for that briefcase and
on the morning after the Monica Lewinsky
scandal Clinton actually lost the
biscuit it is important to me that
everybody who has been hurt know that
the sorrow I feel is genuine number
seven William Taft had a custom-made
bath installed in the White House u.s.
presidents come in all shapes and sizes
and William Taft was a little larger
than the average he was so large in fact
he couldn’t fit his 300 plus pounds in
the conventional White House bathtub the
White House rumor is that Taft actually
got stuck once while bathing but at the
very least he did invest in a
purpose-built larger tub large enough to
comfortably fit for men of smaller
proportions
luckily Taft lost considerable weight
post presidency got healthier and
probably had room for a rubber ducky or
two number six Abraham Lincoln attended
séances in the White House when our
next president wasn’t abolishing the
slave trade he was attending to the
spirits within the White House itself
Abraham Lincoln’s life was shadowed in
sorrow and in seriousness following the
death of his son Willy in particular
Lincoln longed to communicate with the
other
side and he and his wife regularly
entertained well-known spiritualists on
more than one occasion
Lincoln was also afforded some form of
prophetic ability to the point where he
foresaw his own assassination in a dream
as spooky as it is Honest Abe
might have been psychic the president
has been shot
number five George Bush senior is the
unenviable inspiration behind a Japanese
word I’ll ruin you like a Japanese
banquet from the supernatural to these
super embarrassing in 1992 toward the
end of a trading tour in Asia George HW
Bush was attending a state dinner held
at the home of the Japanese Prime
Minister all was going well but then
Bush wasn’t feeling well the lone camera
in the dining room was locked in on the
head table when President Bush was
overcome by nausea and fell forward and
then he vomited and then he fainted in
the words of George Bush arigato
gozaimasu our Spangled stumble and then
some it’s been magnificently
memorialized in Japan itself where
there’s now a word for public vomiting
that literally translates as to do the
bush thing Mushu sudo mojo holux bushu
sudo i don’t remember eating that number
four george w bush was a cheerleader in
high school I know the human being and
fish can coexist peacefully a lot of
people can likely think of a lot of
words to describe george w bush but
coordinated probably isn’t one of them
and yet in high school and in university
george w was decidedly coordinated being
not too gifted at conventionally
masculine pastimes Bush got his bit of
sports field glory by becoming head
cheerleader he’s even been pictured in
full skirt and wig pom-pom attire while
on stage mocking a rival school what can
we say but go Bush our enemies are
innovative and resourceful and so were
we they never stopped thinking about new
ways to harm our country and her people
and neither do we
number three Gerald Ford was once a
fashion model
president of the United States
okay so the image of George Bush
cheerleading isn’t entirely attractive
but in Gerald Ford we have at least one
president who was good-looking pre
presidency Ford had an all-american
charm about him which landed him both
the opportunity to play professional
football and also the odd modeling gig
boyishly good-looking board even found
himself on the front cover of
cosmopolitan on one occasion this guy
was destined for the runway it just
wasn’t always going to be aboard Air
Force One
do you like nachos yes mr. Floyd well
why don’t you come over and watch the
game and we’ll have nachos and then some
beer whoo
number two Lyndon Johnson was
well-endowed
another thing the crotch down were you
nuts Hank is always little too tight so
when you make them up give me a eat that
I’m red out there because they cut me
this is like riding a war offense
it may be runner up but this one’s
clearly our biggest surprise strangely
enough there’s no official record
detailing the dimensions of the
presidential downstairs regions but if
there was then Lyndon Johnson would
probably top it but Johnson wasn’t just
endowed down there he really knew he was
endowed down there here’s a guy who
named his little guide jumbo and ordered
tailored suits with extra room for
movement and ordered a special shower
nozzle be installed solely to rinse off
the appendage his ego was enormous but
so were his underpants look she can’t
leave me about it good age from the far
the separate ends round under my back
from above Oh before we unveil our
number one pick here are some honorable
mentions
astrologer Joan Quigley was hired to
read charts for one of the most powerful
couples on earth and some people
believed she changed history
you
number one Andrew Jackson killed a man
in a duel
Andrew Old Hickory Jackson ran for
president in 1828 if you’re wondering
how he got such a lame nickname it’s
because he used to carry around Hickory
cane and beat people senseless with it
plenty of presidents are indirectly
responsible for ending other people’s
lives international conflict makes that
an unfortunate inevitability and we’ve
seen how Grover Cleveland played lawful
executioner but 7th President Andrew
Jackson actually killed someone out
right before he took the top job Jackson
was notoriously violent and often
inclined to traditionally duel with his
enemies Jackson shot one such enemy
Charles Dickinson as Jackson attempted
to defend his wife’s honor he was
subsequently outcast as a dishonourable
man it’s a miracle he ever made it to
the White House at all if somebody
looked at him the wrong way or somebody
impugn his character in any way he
needed satisfaction do you agree with
our list which surprising fact did we
forget I remember meeting a mother of a
child who was abducted by the North
Koreans right here in the Oval Office
