    Chester Alan Arthur was a lot cooler then Theodore Rosevelt. One because his name is cooler and because he was like a good guy. Well they were both cool, but you know. His name was just a lot cooler. So yeah it makes him awesomer. Thanks, have a good day. ;)
    Love,

  10. Some facts about the two presidents I picked:

    Hoover- He was born in West Branch, IOWA. :) He was the first president to be born on the west of the Mississippi. He was born on August 10, 1874. He graduated from Stanford and he married Lou Henry in 1899. During World War 1, he was chairman of the American Relief Committee in London, as chairman of the Commission for Relief in Belgium, and as U.S. Food Administrator. Served Harding and Coolidge as secretary of commerce. He died in New York City on October 20th, 1964.
    Harding- He was born in Morrow County, Ohio on Nov. 2nd, 1865. He went to college at Ohio Central College. He made the Marion (Ohio) Star newspaper. He married a widow, Florence Kling De Wolfe in 1891. He was a Republican, and served as State Senator in 1899 until 1903. He was lieutenant governor in 1904 until 1906. He was in the Senate in 1914. He died suddenly on August 2, 1923 in San Francisco.
    Differences- Harding was a Republican, where Hoover was kind of both parties. They died in different places, practically across the United States from each other! Hoover was mostly a chairman, where Harding was a Senator and governor. Hoover served Harding!
    Similarities- They both were married. They lived somewhat close to each other. When Harding died, it was just a little bit before Hoover's birthday (Not year, just month and date). Hoover died just before Harding's birthday (same situation just backwards).
