Was Buchanan the first photographed POTUS? I had always thought it was Lincoln but obviously I was wrong.
@BeschlossDC -
@NYCJulieNYC@BeschlossDC John Quincy Adams was photographed after he left office; I think James K. Polk was the first while he was POTUS.

@BeschlossDC First single man to be president, as I recall. Also, one of only two men to flunk out of Dickinson College (Carlisle PA) twice. -
@BobPort@BeschlossDC correct. he remained the only bachelor POTUS. Cleveland was 2nd elected bach but married in 1886 (1st married in WH) -
@kgwrotethis@BeschlossDC Yes. A similar marital milestone came over a century later with Ronald Reagan, the first once-divorced president. -
@BobPort@BeschlossDC I recently had to explain to a student how significant that was...oh no a divorced man in the WH! :P -
@kgwrotethis@BeschlossDC How interesting. I commend you. And soon we may see a first woman president. Change happens very slowly.

@BeschlossDC@Junebug1952 well, David Brooks will be disappointed. There's certainly no crease in Buchanan's pants leg.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
