Pierce’s Hit And Run
Back in the 1800’s, a hit-and-run was nothing like it is today. Before Franklin Pierce became the 14th president of the United States, he was arrested for running a woman over with his horse. Within his first year in office in 1853 he was acquitted of the charges.

President Andrew Johnson had quite a difficult act to follow. After the assassination of the beloved Abraham Lincoln, it was Johnson, as the 17th U.S. president who had to step into his boots. He was known for locking horns with Congress over and over again, and even faced impeachment. Lucky for him he was saved by a single vote.
