What is Grover Clevelands personal history?

Answer 1

Perhaps the most extraordinary fact about Cleveland was that he was known for his honesty-not exactly a common attribute in politics. During his first bid for the presidency, news leaked that he had fathered an illegitimate son. Although he was not yet married, a scandal of this nature could ruin anyone's professional career. Cleveland could have easily denied the story; it wasn't even entirely certain if the child was his (he did choose to financially support his son when he learned his lover was pregnant). But he told the public the truth. Despite the initial moral outrage from voters, Cleveland was elected president.
