#7 can't be Barbara Bush because it says the FIRST First Lady to have the situation. Abigail Adams is the FIRST in the order that First Lady's go to have both her husband and son hold the office of President. THe only other one to have that situation is Barbara Bush and she came into office 200 years after Abigail Adams.

Great quiz. I got a 90%. Warren G. Harding was allegedly poisoned by his wife. There are 14 (fourteen) presidents with documented extra-marital affairs. FDR and Bill Clinton had babes. How about a quiz on president's love lives?

That was probably the most educational quiz I have taken on braingle so far.

Missed number 7 because I read it too fast, my mind only read "first" once, and then I saw Barbara Bush at the bottom of the choices and didn't even notice who the others were
