Aren't those the only four presidents that did not serve in either the House or Senate before being President?  Oh, wait.... what about Washington?  Dammit..... I will NOT google... I will NOT google..... (well, maybe I will, but I won't post for the win if I do. LOL!)

No (Hayes served two terms in the House), but they are the only four presidents who could be on this list.

What a totally obscure bit of Presidential history.....or I should say "Presidential trivia."

Status: offline 		What dcnovice said...... HMmmmm Does dcnovice reside in the District of Columbia and therefore knows ALL about the Presidents?

fluff: If a President wanted to do you, would you do him?  Seems unfair to the Presidents to not do them... LOL!  P.S.  I don't "do" Presidents either..... they're the wrong flavor.... as in they are straight. LOL!  And I don't do them in this game either.

The hint would have been - Answer has nothing to do with the men named in it.  2nd hint: oath of office.  3rd hint: day of the week.

Go ahead dcnovice (or should I say D.C.novice?)

As he said, we are allowed to do "research" in finding our answers to this thread.

I took fluff's statement of "Go ahead, Lance" to mean "Go ahead and give us the next quartet."  I now see she meant "Go ahead and give us your google answer, Lance." 

My googled answer was: last sentence of last paragraph of page 8 of:

http://www.gtcentre.unsw.edu.au/publications/papers/docs/2009/2009_469_HighCourt_TriviaQuiz..pdf

where we read "Hayes, Wilson, Eisenhower and Reagan each took a private oath when Inauguration Day fell on a Sunday, and then retook the oath in public the next day."

That's it dc--because Inauguration Day fell on a Sunday, they retook the oath publicly afterward.

Hayes actually took it the Saturday before, when he wasn't really President yet...

fluff, not even close. <Hehehe....  fluff bit, and bit HARD, on the fact there's 4 different states.  Hint: MANY other cities could be on this list.>
