10. George H W Bush And Clinton Are The Only Consecutive Left-Handed Presidents In History
The handedness of US presidents has not always been recorded, although since 1923 most of the people who have sat in the Oval Office have declared their preference. Herbert Hoover, Harry S Truman, Gerald Ford (ambidextrous) and Barack Obama were all lefties - but George H W Bush and Clinton were the first-ever consecutive presidents to be left-handed. Between 1953 and 1974 no lefties resided in the White House though - with Dwight D Eisenhower, John F Kennedy, Lyndon B Johnson and Richard Nixon all right-handed.
