Trivia Answer

Since 1776, 217 state governors have resigned before the expiration of their term. There actually have been 218 gubernatorial resignations, as one governor resigned from that office twice.

Name the governor who resigned twice:

a. Andrew Jackson
b. Andrew Johnson
c. James Polk
d. Theodore Roosevelt

The correct answer was Andrew Johnson. Johnson (D) resigned as governor of Tennessee in 1857 after being elected to the U.S. Senate and in 1865 after being elected as Abraham Lincoln’s vice president. Johnson was later impeached while serving as the nation’s 17th president.
