36th President facts
While investigating facts about 36th President, I found out little known, but curios details like:
The 1800 election for the US President was an exact tie between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr, so the vote went to the House of Representatives. The House voted 35 times, all of them ties, until Jefferson won on the 36th vote.
James Garfield had no interest in becoming president when he attended the republican convention in 1880. He was added to the 34th ballot, and selected on the 36th. He went on to win the presidency and was assassinated 4 months later.
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 7 of the best facts about 36th President I managed to collect.
