Journal pudge's Journal: Which President Am I? 5

Journal by pudge

I was born in Massachusetts. I graduated from an elite Ivy League university and served as a U.S. ambassador before serving as Vice President for all eight years to one of the most popular Presidents in history.

I then served as the next President, for four years. I put three new justices on the Supreme Court of the United States.

I lost re-election to another very popular President, who served for eight years. We were political enemies while serving as President, but after we were both out of office became friends.

My son became President later, despite coming in second place in the popular vote. He faced stiff opposition from members of Congress angry over the victory, and he lost support even in his own party for his support of leniency and reconciliation for undocumented non-citizens.

  • Hmm. Did Napoleon have a son? Also, I don't know if he was ever vice president. But if he was, that should be the answer.

  • And their sons had the same first name as their fathers so used their middle name/initial for disambiguation.

    Well except I suspect Adams wasn't an ambassador before being vice president because there were no US ambassadors before that. They would have been British.

      The President he's talking about is John Adams. And yes, he was an ambassador for the US. Remember, the US was an independent nation in 1776, but didn't have a Presidential election until 1789; plenty of time for Adams to be an ambassador.

      FWIW, the United States was founded in 1776, not 1787. The name "United States of America" officially dates to 1777, under the Articles of Confederation.
