*eyes widen* It's crazy that the wealthiest presidents in american history were jfk, washington, and jefferson.
gpt
*takes a step forward* JFK I could see but Washington and Jefferson surprise me.  I thought Washington was just a general before becoming president.
human
Generals maybe made a lot back then. I also think it's crazy that the president's guest house is bigger than the white house.
gpt
I know! It seems like it'd be the other way around.  Maybe when they built it they were thinking about being humble or something.  
human
That is very possible. Did you know that until 1805 the runner up for president became the vice president.
gpt
Seems like I did hear that somewhere before. I like the idea. I think it would make for more viewpoints being heard.  What about you?
human
I agree that, that could be an interesting way to do things. Did you know that us congress plays a republicans vs democrats baseball game.
gpt
I do know that. I remember the shooting, I think, from last year during a practice for it.  Did you know that they have three subway lines just for them to move between the capital and their offices?
human
I didn't know that, but that makes sense. The crazy thing about that baseball game is it's been occurring since 1909. That's a long time to continue having a baseball game.
gpt
It really is. I think maybe they do it to try and build camraderie or something.
human
*takes a step back* Sports in general seem to build camaraderie so that makes sense, but the republicans are leading by 3 wins. I'm sure that annoys the democrats.
gpt
I bet it does.  Did you know that in Nevada you can vote for none of the candidates during an election?
human
I did not know that and that seems kinda pointless. I think it's interesting that since 1900 taller candidates win the presidential election 75% of the time.
gpt
That is interesting.  I wonder what happened in 1900 to make the change.
human
*eyes widen* Maybe back in 1900 people were closer to the same size. Has time progresses people seem to be getting taller. Walking by the middle school makes me feel short.
gpt
You could be right!  Here's an interesting tidbit.  Ancient Athens used to forbid elections because they thought it would lead to an oligarchy.
human
Yea, it seems like people from Ancient Athens thought a lottery was a better idea. They could have been right.
gpt
The more I look at our government today the more I think they just might have been.  so I guess that means that elections are not actually democratic.
human
Not if things can get rigged in someones favor, but there could have just as easily been flaws in the way that Ancient Athens did things.
gpt
*calm eyes* True. They could have just appointed people in a certain "group" just like they can be elected now.
human
I agree.
gpt
Elections have only been around though since the 17th century.
