What president was a teacher before being elected president?

Answer 1

Woodrow Wilson was a college professor and administrator.

Chester Arthur, Warren Harding and Lyndon Johnson started out as school teachers. James Garfield taught in college and I think also in a prep school before he taught in college. Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were both law professors before they got into politics.

Answer 2

There is some evidence that Chester A. Arthur, Warren G. Harding and Lyndon B. Johnson all taught at some point, and Barack Obama spent twelve years teaching at the University of Chicago Law School. (Lyndon Johnson was also, briefly, the principal of a small Texas school whose student population was impoverished Mexican-American children.)

Answer 3

Garfield and his successor Arthur were both teachers. Cleveland, who succeded Arthur, had been an assistant teacher. Clinton and Obama had both served as law lecturers.

Stretching the definition of "teacher" a bit... Taft was Dean of a Law School, though I don't know if he actually taught any courses or not.

Answer 4

Chester Arthur, Warren Harding and Lyndon Johnson were school teachers for awhile. James Garfield, William H. Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were college professors at one time.

Answer 5

Wilson probably spent the most time as a teacher although his teaching was at the advanced college level .

Answer 6

Lyndon Johnson
