Grover Cleveland; interesting campaign, not the least of which is because James Blaine (the Republican who was running) was one of the more important figures in the party for a number of years.

Hmmm...just out of curiosity, how many did FDR appoint? I recall him threating a bunch of the Justices when they said they were going to declare the New Deal unconstitutional.

FDR appointed 8 justices
Nixon, Truman, and Harding appointed 4 (to answer the question). Eisenhower did 5.
Who was the first president to have a phone in office? (His phone number was 1)

Yup... your turn to ask a question, but... I also have an interesting one... Who were the only two presidents to be succeeded by their fathers? (i.e. their father's outlived them)

Though you asked before I could post.... 
I am a little confused by your question, there are only two presidents who had fathers who were also presidents and each of them succeeded their respective fathers. John Adams/John Quincy Adams and George HW Bush/George W Bush
or if you are asking which presidents had fathers that outlived them (Which what I think you are asking....)
I could only find one so far....
JFK's father Joesph P. Kennedy died in 1969

Yes, hehe, I meant outlived them.
The second is Harding's father... Harding died in 1923, his father died in 1928
Go ahead, ask your question
