Stephen Grover Cleveland
Born: March 18, 1837
Died: June 24, 1908
Terms in Office: 1885-1889, 1893-1897
So, yeah, Donald Drumpf wants to emulate this guy in regard to serving non-consecutive terms as president. So far this Cleveland fellow is, and God willing will continue to be, the only person to serve in that manner.
This will be a quick snapshot of the second heaviest Commander-in-Chief, his 275 pounds not topping Taft's weight. Though he preferred to be called by his middle name, he was also known as 'Big Steve.'
He was known for his honesty as a politician; so honest that when a scandal broke about an illegitimate child, he admitted that, yes, the child might be his, though there was another possible father in the picture. Said honest answer is thought to have won him the upcoming election. No political dodging for this dude.
He was the only president to get married in the White House. At 49, he married Frances Folsom, who, at 21, is the youngest First Lady to date. They had a child, Esther, in the White House... the only baby born there as of this writing.
We'll leave Grover there. I'm a little short of stuff to say about him. Sorry, Big Steve.
Peace, and don't dodge the questions.
