If Lindsey Graham gets elected, he would be the first unmarried president in The White House
Will Americans elect a Bachelor President? Although so many Americans doesn't take him serious but If Lindsey Graham gets elected, he would be the first unmarried president in The White House since the
nineteenth century.
American voters haven't elected an unmarried president since 1885, the same year the Washington Monument was dedicated on the National Mall and the Statue of Liberty arrived in New York.
Graham is barely
registering in the polls. But if he were to win the White House, he would join
an elite club that includes just two previous presidents unmarried at the time
of their election. James Buchanan, who preceded Abraham Lincoln's presidency,
never married. Grover Cleveland won election as a bachelor, but married a woman
while he was in office who was under his care and 27 years his junior.
While there was
less emphasis in the media about the private lives of politicians during that
era, the absence of women in their lives did not go unnoticed. Buchanan was
rumored to have a romantic relationship with a male senator and Cleveland faced
accusations that he secretly fathered a child he was supporting financially.
