Franklin Pierce

If you're referring to George W. Bush, then the answer is "fourth cousin, five times removed".

If you're talking about the elder George Bush, then there's no relation at all other than through marriage.

Pierce fought in only one war and that was the Mexican War. He enlisted as a private in the local militia in May, 1846. In February, 1847, he was made a colonel in the regular army and was promoted to brigadier general the next month. He led 2500 men into action in Mexico. He fought in the Battle of Contreras in August, 1847 and Churubusco. He marched into the Mexican capital when it fell in September 1847. He left the army in 1848.

Pierce made his inaugural address from memory and it was well received.

He chose to say "affirm" instead of "swear" when he took the oath.

The Bill for the Benefit of the Indigent Insane.

It would have established asylums for the indigent insane, as well as the blind, deaf, and dumb, via federal land grants to the states.

He went to the Hancock and Francestown Academies and Bowdoin College where he graduated. He then studied privately under lawyers until he passed the bar exam.

Some Pierce quotes. I don't know which is the most famous or most important.

A Republic without parties is a complete anomaly. The histories of all popular governments show absurd is the idea of their attempting to exist without parties.

Frequently the more trifling the subject, the more animated and protracted the discussion.

You have summoned me in my weakness. You must sustain me by your strength.

The stars upon your banner have become nearly threefold their original number; your densely populated possessions skirt the shores of the two great oceans.

The storm of frenzy and faction must inevitably dash itself in vain against the unshaken rock of the Constitution.

With the Union my best and dearest earthly hopes are entwined.

Pierce had a good cabinet and he was honest, although he drank too much. There was an international incident that leaked out over attempts to buy Cuba and a veiled threat to take it by force if it could not be bought.

After having their first two children die as babies, on January 6, 1853 Pierce and his wife suffered the tragic loss of their last son, Benjamin. age 12. They all were riding in a train from Andover, NH, where they had spent the holidays ,when soon after they left the station, the car they were in became uncoupled from the train and rolled down an embankment. Benjamin must have hit his head or something- he was killed but nobody was injured. Franklin was the president elect, due to be sworn in March 4, about 8 weeks away. Mrs. Pierce who dreaded the move to Washington even before the tragedy never did fully recover from the shock of losing her last child. She stayed in her room at the White House and wrote letters to her dead son for several weeks.

the sons were 12 one of his kids died being hit by a train(american history.com)

No

Pierce enjoyed fishing.

You have one of the newer $1 coins. 1853-1857 were the years the Pierce was president. These coins are still in circulation and are not collector's items.

The idea is to phase out the $1 bills which wear out quickly and replace them by coins which last for many years.

He did not go to a law school. He studied with some lawyers until he could pass the bar. He took every kind of case where he lived, Concord, NH. He was best as a trial lawyer, working the jury. He eventually had a partner who did the research for his cases!

franklin pierces favorite song was by Micheal jackson

He's considered a minor president and does not appear on any current bill. There is a one-dollar US coin with his likeness on it that is currently in circulation. It is part of an ongoing series that honors each president.

His father, Benjamin was a farmer and innkeeper. He was also a politician, elected to two terms as governor of New Hampshire. His mother was a housewife .

He was awesome he is related to me i think he should be more higher up in the ranks than where he is right now sitting towards the bottom.

Pierce liked to fish.

Franklin Pierce was married once and only once.

Yes, Pierve appointed John A. Campbell to the court.
