14. Pierce Ran Over An Old Lady And Got Away With It
You get away with all sorts of crap when you're connected to the White House. George W Bush managed to get some charges during his heavy drinking days overturned thanks to his daddy, and Nixon managed to stay on a lot longer than was probably sane after that whole paranoid lunatic conspiracy thing came out. Other presidents, meanwhile, literally got away with murder. Franklin Pierce, 14th President Of The United States, was arrested while in office for running over an old woman with his horse, but the case was dropped due to insufficient evidence in 1853. So from the sounds of it, he totally did it, but got away with it.
