Learn about our presidents!
Our presidents are a big help for our country. Today I am going to tell you about many of them. First off I would like to introduce our 16th president. His name was Abraham Lincoln. He was a great president because he was the commander in chief during the Civil War. He died from assassination. That means he was suddenly and secretly murdered. 2 more of our country's presidents also died from assassination like William M. and John W. died from assassination. Anyway, our amazing president Thomas Jefferson was chief writer of The Declaration of Independence. Now I would like to tell you about our longest serving president. He was non other than Franklin D. Roosevelt. He served for 4 terms! He also died in office so the vice president took over. Another great fact is about our shortest serving president. His name was David Rice Atchison. He was in office for only one day! The day he was supposed to be in office for his term it was a Sunday and in his religion he wasn't allowed to work on Sunday so he decided to not be president. I would like to tell you about who wrote our Constitution. They are know as our founding fathers and there names are George Washington, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Thomas Paine, and Patrick Henry. If you wanted to know how many presidents died in office, this is the sentence is for you! William Henry Harrison, Zachery Taylor, Abe Lincoln, James Adam Garfield, William McKinley, Warren G. Harding, Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy all died in the White House! We also elected our first president, (George Washington) in 1789. Who was our 10th president you ask? Well it was non other than John Taylor. If you wanted to know what we celebrate on the 4th of July we celebrate winning the war against Great Britain. I also want to tell you that we have elected 44 presidents from 1789-2014! As you can see there is a lot of things you may have not known about our presidents so I hope I taught you something. Last of all I want to say Brack Obama is our current president.
