I like to read about history. Did you know that the runner up in the presidential election automatically became vice president until 1805?
gpt
*raises eyebrows* i had no idea about that
human
*raises eyebrows* That custom sure did not last long, Might not have been a bad idea though. Do you know who the wealthiest presidents in history are??
gpt
John F Kennedy, Washing, and Jefferson. Did you know that?
human
*takes a step forward* Yes, but I was totally surprised when I read that. Never would have guessed. 
gpt
same here. Did you know that the president of indonesia has released 3 pop albums?
human
That is funny! Maybe someday we'll have a rock star in the White House in the US! There are some strange white house traditions. Like pardoning the turkey every year...
gpt
lol, that is hilarious! What other cool things do you think they do?
human
This year, the pardoned turkey was named Peas. The tradition started with Abe Lincoln, I think.
gpt
cool.  did you know the white house has twin buildings in ireland and france.
human
I did not know that. I am surprised there is not one in England, given our original settlers. I love how they decorate the white house at Christmas. So beautiful!
gpt
*smiles* i've seen it before. it really is.
human
I wonder how long and how many people it takes to get it perfect every year? And it changes from president to president...Teddy Roosevelt banned Christmas trees while he was there. 
gpt
thats ridiculous, why?
human
He was a staunch conservationist and believed that cutting down trees was a waste and harmful for the environment.
gpt
i guess so, but that sounds kind of ridiculous.
human
Remember, back then, knowledge of forest regeneration, and planting was not what it is now. I am sure he felt like he was doing the right thing and setting an example for people.  .
gpt
what percentage of the population do you feel followed through with it?
human
Probably very few!  In the old days, cutting down trees was a real family tradition. And tree farms now are big business and employ thousands of people across the country.  Oregon is a big state for that.
gpt
cool. did you know that the first president of zimbabwe was called president banana?
human
That is so silly!  But at least not as unkind as it could be! 
gpt
yes, I thought it was very funny.
