    Republican campaign chant:
    Ma! Ma! Where's my pa?
    Gone to the White House! Ha, ha, ha!​
    Well, the joke was on them, since he did go to the White House after all.

    5. Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton...Nixon kinda.

    6. Andrew Johnson.

    I'll leave the other two...for others. :rolleyes:

    Ah, but the question was ... "while in office". So Cleveland is not correct. And in any case, another man later came forward and admitted to being the father of the child in question.

    Correct. Nixon had articles of impeachment written against him, but he resigned before they were actually voted on by the House. A bit of a technicality there ... I think most people consider Nixon to have been "impeached", in addition to the other two.

    Correct.

    i think the last one was the 1876 election.i think the election concerned itself with wanting to end reconstruction in the south.tilden was the person with more popular votes was tilden.tyler became president that year.none of the above may be true.or some of it.all of it might be true.....also the last time i was in missourt i went through a town called plattsburg that had a statue of david rice atchinson.in 1849 for some reason he filled in as president for 1 day between the terms of polk and taylor.he was the leader of the senate and went back to that same job after his one day in office........it was hayes won the election of 1876.i thought it started with an h.that's why i blamed one of the harrison boys.
