Some other fun facts thanks to National Geographic Kids:
- The 11th President, James Polk, was the first President to have his photograph taken.
- Theodore Roosevelt was the first President to ride in a car while in office and his fifth cousin, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the first to ride in an airplane. Maybe another Roosevelt will be the first President to ride in a spaceship??
