Appendix

Presidential Facts

The table that is this appendix contains a lot of interesting and relevant information. It gives birth dates for all the presidents and death dates for deceased presidents. In addition, it lists the presidents’ respective vice presidents. The appendix further presents the political party affiliation for every president and the names of the opponents in their respective elections. To top it off, both the Electoral College votes and the popular vote are provided for the presidential elections. The popular vote is presented in a format that gives the number and percentage of votes received.

Note: The popular vote is not available for the first five presidents, so only the number of electoral votes is provided. Beginning with the 1824 elections, both totals are available. In addition, there were no political parties in 1789 and 1792, so no party affiliation is listed for these two elections.
