Amal Clooney was spotted yesterday evening leaving a restaurant on Portobello Road with George Clooney and his friends Matt Damon and his wife Luciana, and Rande Gerber and wife Cindy Crawford. The group was also spotted attending a party at the Electric Cinema.
There have been eight left-handed presidents that we know of. However, this number is not necessarily accurate because in the past left-handedness was actively discouraged. Many individuals who would have grown up left-handed were in fact forced to learn how to write with their right hand. And, if recent history is any indication, left-handedness seems to be far more common among U.S. presidents than it is among the general population.
There have been 18 Republican presidents and 15 Democratic presidents. Actually, while the Democratic Party tends to claim Andrew Johnson as their own, he was sworn into office in 1865 while he was a member of the National Union Party. This would technically make it 18 Republicans to 14 Democrats. Since the first presidency in 1789, and until 2013, there have been 44 total presidencies in the United States. This includes only those presidents who were sworn into office, not acting presidents. Of course, not all of those who held office have been Democrats or Republicans.
