Fifteen Children
Did you know that John Tyler is the father of 15 kids? That makes him the president with the most amount of children! They were all born between the years 1815 and 1860, and they were from two different wives. His first eight children were with his first wife, Lettia Tyler, and the last seven were with his second wife, Julia Gardiner.

Millard Fillmore – 149
Millard Fillmore was the last president from the Whig Party before it was dissolved. He was born into a poor family and educated himself well enough to attain the rank of vice president during the term of President Zachary Taylor. After the incumbent president died of cholera in 1850, Fillmore succeeded him as the 13th president. After the death of Taylor, all the cabinet members of the White House filed their resignation right away, leaving Fillmore to build a completely new one. While his IQ of 149 is rather low in the presidential range, it’s definitely nothing to sneer at. From 1850 to 1853, he tried but failed to prevent tension between the North and the South by signing the 1850 Compromise. He also helped develop contact with Japan, who was still isolating itself at the time. Under his presidency, Japan started allowing American ships to dock in the country in case of emergencies.
