John Quincy Adams

John Quincy Adams was the first President of the United States to have his photograph taken.  In the picture above, you can see the pose that he decided on.  He must have thought it was gonna take way longer for the film to develop or something, otherwise nobody would ever pick that pose.  ("What's a PICTURE?  Seems like this is gonna be a long WAIT.  Might as well be grumpy.")

Obviously, this guy's dad was President, too.  Neither was elected to a second term.  I bet things were said about that at holiday dinners.  One of them says "It's all politics!" and then some drunken or other in-law relative says "Yep, too bad you guys suck at that."

Eating side-by-side all mad.

"Pass the potatoes, son..."

"There's none left, dad."

"Well, can you believe we at least both got to be PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES?"

"No, not really dad.  and there's no gravy left either."


Here is a complete list of States that John Quincy Adams admitted into the Union as President of the United States:

There weren't any!  and a lot of areas had not been conquered yet.  What was he DOING all that time?

Probably NOT drugs, but who could ever know for certain?

Andrew Jackson defeated J.Q. Adams for the Presidency to legally deny him a second term.  He couldn't even call him to gloat, the White House did not have a phone yet.  So they just waited until he got bitter and moved out.

He sure was mad all the time though, same as his father.  Who was the first "smiling" President?  The people on money never do it.  Somebody should be known as the first President that smiled a lot.  It wasn't Quincy, but also had to be WAY before Carter.  Those people were not alike.  Nope, not at all.
