VICE PRESIDENT TO WOODROW WILSON / #28

  • Said "I was the Wilson administration's spare tire - to be used only in case of emergency."
    (For more of his funny quips, check out this PBS article.)

  • Buuuuut he wasn’t used in an emergency. First Lady Edith Wilson ran the show.
    (For a scripted comedic version of what went down, check out the freaking hysterical podcast Edith! Marshall is played by Stephen Root.)

  • Buried in the same cemetery as two other Vice Presidents.

Heather isn’t a historian, an academic, or an impartial storyteller… but she has read more than one book about every U.S. president. Out of spite. She was dubbed America’s Preeminent Presidential Doodler by one of her favorite authors and she’s been repeating it ever since. When she’s not reading or doodling history books, she’s a freelance graphic designer and illustrator.
