Trivia Time!
Who is the only US president who assumed the presidency without winning a majority of electoral votes, via the House of Representatives?
Last Month's Trivia:
In 1974, Democrats won their largest congressional majorities since the New Deal Coalition of the 1930's. This class of legislators were named the "watergate babies," since the victories were largely attributed to a backlash against Nixon's Watergate scandal. How many of them are currently, as of January 2022, still serving in congress?
Answer: Out of the 54 "Watergate Babies" elected, only One is still serving: Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont, and he will be retiring at the end of his term in Jan 2023.
