        I wonder: Is that the largest number of future presidents ever to sit in Congress at once?

        Wide lapels were in that year. 100% white men too, it appears.

        Interesting, especially since JFK was the first and it would be a decade for that. All these men had a lot of experience with the federal government before they became president. (There were 10 women in the House & 1 in the Senate? And 2 African-Americans in the House.)

        Looks like Sen. Henry Dworshak (R-ID) sitting to LBJ's right. Appropriate since he was to the right of many if not most.

        Place Truman's words by the flag in every school?! Modeling/setting example, admitting mistake! Proving his words about the buck's wherabouts were not empty? Kids smell empty words from miles aways. (Who/what is a leader? While #KidsSpotDoAsISay ,#KidsSpotAndRespectGenuineness. )pic.twitter.com/bDy930Hj9Z

        I have no problem with Truman’s quotes in schools if they are real. This “American Gestapo” quote isn’t real.
