Happy Birthday, Andrew Jackson! 237 today!

He doesn't look a day over 236!
:tinfoilhat:

Seven cheers for our seventh President, the first Democrat to become President!

Shameless Plug: If you want info on any politician, from Presidents to Democratic National Convention delegates, I would recommend going to www.politicalgraveyard.com and looking for the politician you want. It's an awesome resource.

5. Didn't he shoot someone in a duel to defend his wife's honor?

How many other presidents would do that?

6. Since we're talking about mass murderers...

Does anyone know when Pol Pot's birthday was?

9. I don't quite understand why he's on the $20 bill...or so highly regarded.

Yes, he was a brutal man. Genocidal isn't too strong a word, IMO.

His one major accomplishment was that he fought against the Bank of the United States. I'm not quite sure that is much of an accomplishment (don't we have a Bank of the United States today? The Federal Reserve?)
