To be elected to the highest position of office in the most powerful country in the world, one must have an impressive resume, to say the least. Sometimes people achieve this through being a governor, senator, or congressman. But also, people rise to power through the military. Which brings me to my question: How many presidents have been 2 star Generals or higher? (Surgeon General or Attorney General doesn't count.)
8 presidents have had 2 stars or higher: Washington (6), Eisenhower(5), Grant(4), Jackson(2), William Henry Harrison(2), Taylor(2), Hayes(2), Benjamin Harrison(2).
