president had the nicknames Old Ruff and
Ready and the Little Magician. Answer Zachary
17
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:53.040
Taylor. Fun fact. The twelfth
President earned these monikers during his lengthy military
18
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:59.400
career before taking office. Question two
asked what was the first US president's ancestral
19
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:06.239
homeland. Answer England. Fun fact. George Washington's ancestors emigrated from England to
20
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:09.719
Virginia in the mid sixteen hundreds.
Several English towns and cities like Washington,
21
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:15.280
Old Hall and Soulgrave Manor have connections
to the Washington family heritage. Question three
22
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:21.919
asked who was the only president to

seventh President. Taft went on to become

the federal government. Question four asked
which president popularized the saying the buck stops
27
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:46.800
here. Answer Harry S. Truman
fun fact. The thirty third President had
28
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.879
a sign with this phrase on his
oval office desk as a reminder that he
29
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:55.159
wouldn't pass blame for tough decisions.
The expression meant Truman took full responsibility as
30
00:02:55.199 --> 00:03:00.599
the nation's final authority. Question five, Which president earned a PhD in Political
31
