Trivia: Franklin and Theodore Roosevelt both served as governor of which state?
California
New York
Alabama
Texas
The correct answer is New York
So why is this answer correct? : The 26th and 32nd Presidents had much in common. They both went to Harvard and Columbia Law, they both wore a pince-nez, and they both served as governor of New York state (as well as Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Navy). This was not entirely by chance: The younger Roosevelt idolized his fifth cousin Theodore as a child, and modeled himself after the famous Rough Rider.
