        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.

        @kgwrotethis @BeschlossDC Yes. A similar marital milestone came over a century later with Ronald Reagan, the first once-divorced president.

        @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.
