US president - a post (the same post of the President of the Russian Federation), combines in one the head of state, commander in chief of the whole army and navy, as well as chief executive.However, the difference is still there - the US Constitution brought him back in 1787, and in 1789 was elected president of the United States 1.
first American president George Washington became famous.In fact, many American Presidents something marked and perpetuate its presence in power, but of Washington it is worth mentioning separately.It was the only man who has collected 100% of votes elected, such was not only in the US but all over the world!Picture it, we are still seeing on a national US currency and postage stamps.
What else could differ interesting American presidents?We list some of the most memorable facts.For example, of all the presidents (and their ever recorded was 44, if you count the current) is less likely post the ninth - William Harrison, who died 31 days after taking the oath.In general, in addition to Harrison left the post due to the death of seven people, three of whom died of natural causes, but the other four were killed.Some just bad luck ....
American presidents can also re-elected for the second and subsequent him time.Thus, the longest term of office was at the thirty-second US president - Franklin Delano Roosevelt.He was elected to the presidency four times!And as a great, serious politician, he was known throughout the world.Two consecutive occupied the post of fourteen people.
All American presidents were US citizens and were born here, so it stands out from all the current President Barack Obama, who was born outside the country and has African-American origin, which explains the dark color of the skin.
All of us - men and American presidents - no exception, so inherent in them some habits that a normal person would be regarded as a manifestation of nature, they were considered strange.What "strange" There were people who occupied the post of the great American?George Washington loved the horse riding, but was very picky about the appearance of a horse - or rather, to its purity.All understandable, but to check the horse's teeth - is not a whim ?!Abraham Lincoln probably not really trust his subordinates, as ever wore a black high cylinder, which hid the future bills, letters, and important financial documents.
You know, where did the famous bears "Teddy"?One day while hunting Theodore Roosevelt took pity on-bear with cubs, after this incident, and in vogue cute plush toys, got its name from a reduced, affectionate name Theodore.But Bill Clinton had a soft spot for cats, so madly in love with her cat Sachs.Subsequently, the President ordered a personal website of your pet.Another animal lover - Harry Truman.He had a small hand-goat, which dutifully waited host from work, enjoying the lush grass near the White House.
These are American presidents - not different from you and me people!
