Presidential Trivia

[applez]

With President Obama signing bills into law, I couldn't help noticing that he's left-handed!

So how many Presidents have been southpaws?

A suitable question for nhw, I imagine.

The Washington Post has it at six of the last twelve, and only one (Garfield) of their predecessors. It is not completely clear if Reagan really belongs in the list. Presumably several earlier left-handers were beaten into becoming right-handers at school.
