I was just saying to myself the other day, "You know what this board needs more of? Politics!" Seriously what gives, people? Don't you know that there's an election going on? Who's with me on this?
So I picked a subject at which I thought everybody would excel. "Presidential Vices." Ha!
Beings it's Monday, nothing too elaborate. I give you the Prez, you give me the year he first took office (not elected, no mercy for those who don't pay attention to the opener) and his vice president. If there was more than one VP, I want the first one (you'll see the start of a theme, until I ran out of options).
Scoring: Perfect (exact year) = 5 points
Close (+/- 2 years) = 4 points
Ballpark (+/- 5 years) 2 points
Universe (correct decade) = 1 point
10 additional points for each VP, plus the bonus, for a total of 165 points possible today.

Dang, I memorized all these VPs a few years ago...
1. James Buchanan: 1857, Breckinridge
2. Calvin Coolidge: 1925, Charles Dawes
3. Bill Clinton: 1993, Al Gore
4. Benjamin Harrison: 1889, ?
5. William Harrison: 1841, Tyler
6. Andrew Jackson: 1829, Calhoun
7. Richard Nixon: 1969, Spiro Agnew
8. Franklin Roosevelt: 1933, not Wallace or Truman, his first VP was the Texan who said the job wasn't worth a bucket of warm spit?
9. Theodore Roosevelt: 1901, at first he had no VP, then, after the election of 1904, his VP was Fairbanks?
10. George Washington: 1789, John Adams
Bonus: Only one president has ever been sworn in by a woman (think about it for a minute). 5 points for the president and 10 points for the lady giving the oath.
Lyndon Johnson, on Air Force One, Nov. 22, 1963. And since I can't think of the judge's name, I'll guess Sarah Day O'Connor, just in case I'm wrong about LBJ.

Re: Timeline, Game 11, Monday September 15
Hope I'm not too late...
Spoiler
quote="Here's Fanny!"]I was just saying to myself the other day, "You know what this board needs more of? Politics!" Seriously what gives, people? Don't you know that there's an election going on? Who's with me on this?
So I picked a subject at which I thought everybody would excel. "Presidential Vices." Ha!
Beings it's Monday, nothing too elaborate. I give you the Prez, you give me the year he first took office (not elected, no mercy for those who don't pay attention to the opener) and his vice president. If there was more than one VP, I want the first one (you'll see the start of a theme, until I ran out of options).
Scoring: Perfect (exact year) = 5 points
Close (+/- 2 years) = 4 points
Ballpark (+/- 5 years) 2 points
Universe (correct decade) = 1 point
10 additional points for each VP, plus the bonus, for a total of 165 points possible today.

Lyndon B. Johnson sworn in by Federal Judge Sarah T. Hughes on Air Force One
Most everyone got LBJ, congrats to those few who also got Sarah T. Hughes. (I wouldn't have gotten her name. Before I wrote this, of course. Ha!)
I was originally going for an "All John" VP list, but I ran out partway through. So I threw in a couple of Chucks and then just went for the fun names (Levi, Spiro).
