      John Quincy Adams.

      Every day, at about 5:30 in the morning, totally naked.

      Anne Royall, one of the first female journalists, allegedly forced Adams to do an interview with her by taking his clothes and refusing to give them back to him until he answered all her questions.

      Andrew Jackson for his inauguration party invited literally anybody who showed up to attend, and a bunch of people got roaring drunk and wrecked up the White House.

      The fuck happened to us man

      Back then everybody swam naked in the Potomac. Ben Franklin is another one with written records about it.

      If you see the Potomac River today, you’d wonder what the hell happened, it is absolutely filthy and not even a rat would swim in it. well maybe a rat would drown & die in it.
