Varied Paths to the Presidency Through Ages
A historic survey shows presidents varied in age from 36 to 98 in leaving office, with no single religious affiliation dominant. Lawyers dominated occupations, while wealth varied widely from modest estates to over a million for F D Roosevelt. Seven presidents were New York residents at inauguration and eleven were elected without a popular majority. Women candidates emerged from minor parties, starting with Victoria Woodhull in 1872 with Douglass as running mate.
