Rutherford B. Hayes – 133.9
Rutherford B. Hayes has a similar story to George W. Bush; during his election he won the electoral vote but not the popular vote, and it had to be disputed about whether or not he won the presidency. Before he was president, he served as the governor of Ohio for three terms, where he was a part of the now non-existent Whig party. Hayes was in support of expanding the civil rights of the African American community, but Democratic opponents got in the way. His wife was the first FLOTUS to be a college graduate.

William Henry Harrison – 146.3
William Henry Harrison still holds the record for being president for the shortest amount of time, just 31 days, from March 4- April 4, 1841. He caught pneumonia after being in the rain during inauguration day and passed away from it. It was hard for people to remember him for anything other than tragedy, as he died shortly after beginning his presidency, but he is also remembered as being the last president who was alive during the American Revolution. He led the military to victory during the Battle of Tippecanoe, which is how he got himself the nickname “Old Tippecanoe”. Did you know that he was the first head of state to be photographed? Unfortunately, the photo did not make it very far.
