VICE PRESIDENT TO ZACHARY TAYLOR / #12

  • Alec Baldwin’s doppelgänger.

  • His first wife was his teacher; she was the only pre-20th century First Lady to continue working after marriage.

  • Hard to find many redeeming qualities in this doughface.

  • I’m not a fan.

  • Nobody thought to vet this guy at all before making him president because what could possibly go wrong, even though there was precedent for it going wrong before.

  • Was for a long time the only president to sign a prenup (guessing that’s no longer the case). The agreement was to protect the wealthy widow he married.

  • Got married in the same room as Alexander Hamilton! Not at the same time.

I’ve read at least one book about every U.S. president, never tire of shoehorning presidential trivia into conversations, and am basically an expert at hiding mistakes in my sketchbooks.
