Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce myself. I am the MOTUS.

The Mike of the United States.

We are roughly 24 hours away from concluding this rather heavy, grueling, painful, and head-shaking laced 2016 Presidential Election. Don’t worry, I’m not here with attempts to sway your vote one way or another. This country has been built on being able to make our own choices. Albeit good choices, like learning how to read, or not doing crystal meth.

That really should be in the top three for everyone’s list of good choices to make.

So, in light of our election, as my blog gets flagged by the FBI I would still like to find the lighter side of things as we trek our way in choosing our next President of the United States with random facts, questions, and wonders amongst our Presidents of yesteryears as well as the two vying to take the Oval Office, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Donald J. Trump.

MOTUS on POTUS

1. Our current POTUS, Barack Obama, was born August 4, 1961 at Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children in Honolulu, Hawaii. Your MOTUS was born March 14, 1983 at, get this – Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children, Honolulu, Hawaii. And we’re both left-handed.  POTUS and MOTUS, basically brothers from different mothers. You can’t script greatness like this.
2. Speaking of left handers, James Garfield was the first left-handed President. It only took 20 elections to get a southpaw in there.
3. Who is the one President I would love to meet the most? Without question, number 26 Theodore Roosevelt. When he was younger he suffered from a breathing condition, and his father would actually take him to the outdoors in nature amongst the trees with clean, fresh and true air. You can say that leaning on nature kept him alive, in which he returned the favor as POTUS when he signed the Antiquities Act of 1906, which is the reason why we have national parks.
4. What does J stand for in Donald J. Trump? If it stands for Juan, how ironic and hilarious would that be.
5. This country has elected a President with the first name Grover. Twice.
6. Does anyone remember President John Tyler? Fuck, me neither.
7. Who had the best initials – FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt), JFK (John Fitzgerald Kennedy), or LBJ (Lyndon Baines Johnson)? I’m going to go with FDR.
8. Rutherford Hayes was the first POTUS to visit the West Coast while he was in office. The city he touched down? San Francisco.
9. President James Madison, the “Father of the Constitution,” was a little guy. He clocked in at 5’4”, and weighed 100 pounds. I’m pretty sure William Taft’s right arm alone weighed that much.
10. Bill was not the first Clinton to hold any Presidential title. A George Clinton (no, not that George Clinton) was the Vice President to the aforementioned James Madison.
11. Do you know which POTUS graces the defunct $500 bill? William McKinley.
12. He never became POTUS, but Bob Dole is still alive at 93 years old. What a guy! He also talked in third person, “If something happened along the route and you had to leave your children with Bob Dole or Bill Clinton, I think you would probably leave them with Bob Dole.” Burn.
13. Do you know who the POTUS was in 1985? Ronald Reagan.  Do you know why I know that so easily? From watching Back to the Future all my life.
14. Abe Lincoln – First POTUS to have a beard. Abolished slavery. Led the country through the Civil War. Carried an axe, and hunted vampires.  That was real, right?
15. Do you remember the difference between President George W. Bush and almost-President Al Gore in the 2000 election? Just 537 more Bush votes in the state of Florida.

With that said, don’t ever think your vote doesn’t count. Get yourself a sticker tomorrow.
