Who was the only president to have been divorced? Who was the only president to adopt a child? Who was the only wife of a president to have the wrong "official" birth date? (She was older than everyone believed, according to her high school records.)

When he took office, the nationl debt was $1 trillion. That was the accumulated national debt from Andrew Jackson through Jimmy Carter. After 8 years of Reagan and 4 years of George H.W. Bush, the national debt rose to $4 trillion.
