#1-12 I ran for a seat in the House of Representatives against the man who would succeed me in the White House. He and I actually traveled together while campaigning. After I won, some of my constituents said that, had it not been for unusually bad weather on election day, my opponent likely would have won. Instead, I became an important leader in Congress.

#13-24 I remain the only man from my native state ever elected president. Born into a well-to-do family, I graduated from Dickinson College where I was a gifted debater and learned the law. A fort just off the coast of Charleston, SC, became nationally known near the end of my presidency.

#25-34 I brought a “New Look” to U.S. national security when I took office. I relied on nuclear weapons to deter Communist aggression or, if necessary, to fight a war. I also used the Central Intelligence Agency to carry out secret actions against governments or leaders that aided Russia in any way. One of the CIA’s programs consisted of U2 spy plane flights over Russia. The policy became exposed when one of the planes, piloted by Gary Powers, was shot down while flying in Soviet Union airspace.

#35-44 My foreign policy was dominated by an event that occurred during the first year of my presidency. As a result of my actions after that event, my approval rating rose to 90% – the highest recorded job-approval rating in U.S. presidential history. By the end of my second term, my approval rating had sunk to 22%.
