While you wait for my blow-by-blow description of my weekend, here's a pair of trivia that came up over Shabbat.

• Of all the U.S. presidents to have served at least one complete term, only one left office with the same cabinet he initially appointed. Who?

• FDR, of course, was the longest-serving president. Two of his cabinet members served for his entire administration. Who were they?

I should connect you to [livejournal.com profile] uspresidents. He would know.

I would bet #1 is George Washington - otherwise it's way too random. Can't believe only 0 or 1 of the one-termers went through without changing.

#2 is, I believe, Harold Ickes and Frances Perkins.

You are correct on #2. Congratulations!

You are incorrect on #1. Interestingly, one member of this cabinet went on to be charged with treason against the United States.
