Cleveland’s Marriage
It’s a big deal to be the first (and only) president to marry in the White House. On the other hand, many people were more concerned about who the president was marrying.

Andrew Jackson – 145
Andrew Jackson had an IQ of 145, which was average for presidents but much higher than the general population. Andrew Jackson was the first and only president of the United States. He was in charge from 1829 to 1837. We’re not surprised if you remember him from the twenty-dollar bill! Isn’t it fascinating that he opposed paper money and instead campaigned for silver and gold coins? He was taken by the British when he was 13 years old during the Revolutionary War. That’s true; he’s the only President who has served as a prisoner of war. He was able to prevent South Carolina from seceding and pay off the full national debt during his presidency.
