US President divorces . . . have there been any (?)

[Jan2017]

Passing by a tabloid at a Barnes and Noble . . .
according to Xx Magazine . . .
right before their Fashion Police report calling out the "Kitty" Perry animal print garb, and noting also
that Zoe Kravitz definitely now has a serious felony on her rap sheet -

. . . Anyhoo . . .
it seems The First Lady could be divorcing the 45th President after this past "week of humiliation" news of the Stormy affair while married to her -
. . . can anything protect the President's third marriage (?) and will the hens at "The View" weigh-in on this matter ?

There had to be talk of Presidential divorce in the Clinton WH brothel, wasn't there ?

Any other Presidents maybe got threatened with dissolving a marriage in office (?)
. . . and, does the First Lady get Secret Service coverage after the marriage ends.
Jefferson had a mistress at Monticello, not sure if before or after serving as 3rd President.

It was bound to happen. If anybody who voted for him thought it was likely that he'd make it through 4 years, much less 8, without another divorce, it was a delusion resulting from their Trump Derangement Syndrome.

I think only Ronald Reagan had a divorce in his past, before his 1976 POTUS run...
I'm trying to think of ANY of the 1800s presidents who had gotten a divorce at all!

Reagan was the only divorcee to win a presidential election prior to Trump.

No, AFAIK, St Reagan was the only president who even had one before now.
I think the only other outliers of any sort were Washington, who married a widow, and Buchanan, who was a bachelor.

A couple remarried because their wives had died. Roosevelt and Clinton might have divorced their wives under different circumstances but stayed together for probably political reasons.

However, that does not mean that every president has remained in the same marriage throughout their lives. John Tyler and Woodrow Wilson both lost their wives during their presidency, and remarried during their term, Nelson said.

Only one president, James Buchanan, remained a bachelor for his entire life, Nelson said. But he had a good reason for not marrying.

James Buchanan was unmarried at the time he was in office, and is widely thought of to have been what we would today call gay, Nelson said.

FDR's affair in 1917/18 came very close to derailing his possible future POTUS run
if he had divorced Eleanor only to shortly remarry. His mother put her foot down...

[Aratus]

Nelson Rockefeller is said to have lost the presidency ultimately because he was a divorced man.

Buchanan can't have been gay. He's generally regarded by the academic elite as the worst president in history. If he was gay he would have been the best president in history, and then people would have to examine his correct, constitutional views on the matters he had to deal with.
So even though he very probably was, it's never going to come up, not even during the next Democratic nomination process, which is kind of obligated at this point to pick a gay man.

Rumors also circulated that Buchanan was gay. While a member of Congress, he forged a close relationship with William Rufus King, a North Carolina senator and Franklin Pierce’s future vice president. For a time, the two men shared lodgings in Washington and were referred to as Miss Nancy and Aunt Fancy, though a sexual relationship has never been substantiated. King died of tuberculosis eight months into Pierce’s term and four years before Buchanan entered the White House.

Gay woman has to wait.

Fastforward to 15:00 if you're a little patient, or 16:10 if you're not, Molyneux goes into a history of Presidential affairs - WOW

Donated again.

Huh, is that what Stormy Daniels looks like?
I mean, I thought mainstream porn stars were supposed to be attractive.
She looks like a waitress at a redneck bar.

She was a lot hotter 12 years ago.

So was he.

Huh, Buchanan a bachelor. Thanks.
Mike Douglas played a "bachelor" liberal in the WH (well, with a 12 year old daughter "First Lady"-lol)
"President Andrew Shepard" . . . well a widower once and a divorcee
cast includes Michael J. Fox and Richard Dreyfus(lol)







So Reagan and Trump only divorcee ?

Well, first divorce while President would be bad . . . an embarrassment.

[euphemia]

I don't believe any presidents divorced after they left office, either.

[Weston White]

You know if things keep going downhill, they will not have to pull the plug on House of Cards, Kevin Spacey, could just play himself in literal character and nobody would really even notice.

[shakey1]

it'd be un-murican.
