Hail to the Chiefs Part XXII: Your Old Pal Grover

[direcorrector]

  Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached the halfway mark.  We're also rapidly nearing the end of the 19th century which will mean no more Gilded Age Caretaker Presidents!  (A few Jazz age ones, but that's a ways off....)

Grover Cleveland is best known as the only president with two non-consecutive terms, and the one who throws off everybody's count.

Not to nit-pick, but I think in the second paragraph you meant to write two "non-consecutive" terms. Cleveland is an interesting guy. One biography of him is called "An Honest President", implying that this is a rarity. He is also the patron saint for all fat middle-aged men who dream of marrying a young trophy wife.

Thanks for that copy editing. :)Yeah I wonder if Dennis Kucinich took a page from his book wife-wise.
