I mean, Washington was related to every other US president distantly. Nice quiz.

"Had the same last name as another president" would be more technically correct (though also much easier).

Whoops. The results are different when you're thinking George Bush #1 the whole time.

Interestingly, it would only change two of the questions. The war fighting and the presidential terms.

I struggled with the "fought in a war" question. GWB did lead the armed forces in 2 wars as commander in chief, even if he wasn't on the ground fighting/leading like Washington did.

Considering Virginia to be a Southern state while it was part of the 13 colonies and most people don't even consider North Carolina to be a Southern state is ridiculous

#13, in fact to be US president you MUST be born in the US

Not so. You only need to be a "natural-born citizen", which courts have taken to mean anyone born an American citizen, even outside of the United States. John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone, for example.
