| | Residents of California will soon begin seeing advertisements urging them to support the concept of helping foreign born citizens like their Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, to have the chance to run for president. The cable television ads are calling for a change to the U.S. Constitution which limits the presidency only to those people who actually were born in the U.S.A. The California Governor was born in Switzerland and became a U.S. citizen in 1983.
Strange facts about US Presidents:
During hunting, President Theodor Roosevelt refused to kill a she-bear with a bear cub. After this, a new toy appeared - plush bears, which were called “Teddy bears” (“Teddy” was the pet name of “Theodor”).
William Taft weighed more than 136 kgs. A specially-made huge bathtub was installed in the White House for him.
Warren Harding played poker at least twice a week. Once he even lost all the Chinese porcelain sets belonging to the White House. His advisers were nicknamed the “Poker Cabinet” as they were his main partners in gambling.
Calvin Coolidge had a very sick stomach. For treatment and preventive measures, he used to sleep for 10-11 hours at night and also took a nap in the afternoons. Two personal raccoons lived with him in White House.
