Was shot in an assassination attempt WHILE delivering a speech.  He finished the speech saying: "I give you my word, I do not care a rap about being shot; not a rap." He's fascinating, the whole blog should be about him but I'll be here all weekend if I get started on this guy.

Played College Football at the University of Michigan. He also modeled while in college and appeared on the cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine. Bet ya didn't know that? Gerald Ford graced the cover of the same magazine as Kendall Jenner.

President's are people too dammit. Sometimes you run a lady over with a horse, it doesn't mean you meant to. From chubby dudes stuck in bathtubs to alligators running amok in the White House. History is fun.
